Yes!   My favorite all-time player is heading to Cooperstown.   Finally.

Rock Raines was the shtein back in the day. 

[Rome]

There's a guy coming up in a couple of years that would have my vote:

Tim Raines.

Absolutely awesome player when he played in Montreal.  The guy had power, hit for average, played great defense, stole about a million bases, and had a gun for an arm in his early days.

He hit a screaming line drive one night when I was out in the left field seats at the Vet that nearly killed my ass.   

I still have the ball that I got him to autograph the next day.  He wasn't going to sign it until I told him he almost killed me with it the day before.  He laughed and said, "sure kid, no problem."

Still one of my favorites...   

I wrote that 11 years ago.  Holy shtein.

Still have the ball too.

now that selig and bagwell are in i hope everyone gets off their roid high horses and puts in bonds and clemens

[Rome]

Um, if Bonds gets in then so should Pete Rose.  Neither will happen.

Also - farg Curt Schilling and his 45%.  I hope that punk bitch never gets in and he spends the rest of his miserable life complaining about how he's a victim of liberals.

[MDS]

its 2 separate issues

bonds is on the ballot and its the voters call. rose isnt on any ballot and i believe mlb has to reinstate him in order for a decision to be made about how to handle his candidacy.

he should 100% go, along with shoeless joe and buck weaver, but shouldnt get his day in the sun. hes broke an unbreakable rule. but put his plaque in. hes a massive piece of baseball history and its a baseball history museum.

[Sgt PSN]

It's laughable that roid heads can't get in, but Selig aka The Enabler can. 

[PhillyPhreak54]

Damn.

Yordano Ventura killed in a car accident.

Andy Marte also killed but in a separate accident.

Both in th Dominican.

[phattymatty]

i almost died in a car accident in DR last week too. those MFers drive like iceholes.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Oscar Taveras was another who died in a wreck

Were you in a taxi Matt?

[Geowhizzer]

Ventura was the starting pitcher in Marte's last game.  Coincidence?  I think not...
