I'll say this for the idiot--he's probably got more Hall of Fame memberships than he has listeners to his webio show.

Heck, the novelty of his useless show has worn off, even RV doesn't listen.

I thought north said he was a great player and the smartest coach out there, if that's true, how come he gets in as "Media"?

"Dat's cuz dere scoring system to enter da Hall is wrong, ok? Ain't dat right dere sweetie?"

"Of course Mike."

"I aint talkin' to you Bebe, I was talkin to my little puddin-in-a-cloud Jen Patterson!"

This I got from my brother in law who is very involved with this crap and norths induction is large to do with a donation and also notice the other name on the list, its in bold for those who missed it. This means now, mike can bring this up when he speaks with MLB HOF'ers, they are equals now.

STEVE KASHUL ????

Oh yeah....this is a legit hall of fame.

Didn't he and North "broadcast" 16" softball games on comcast or something many years ago? What great TV that was. NOT! Enough to be hall of fame worthy though I guess.

Proud to be UNVERIFIED.

The Flamingos one of the great Black softball teams of all-time. I'll never forget the pitchers funny move and the 1st sacker hitter a ball to the pony league infield in Summit Park.

I'm going to bounce from the spot for awhile but I will be back at some point to argue with you about this hoops stuff again. Playoffs have been great this season. See ya up the road.

I'm out.

Jeesh, after seeing the list of inductees, is there anyone left to nominate
in future years? That's a who's who list if I ever saw one.

I mean they just dion't give a Holan Award to anybody, this Wally Kuczwara,
he earned it my friends. I might have to sign up, I hear they are serving
Vienna Dogs and Beefs for dinner.

This actually is a can't miss event for the "un-intentional" comedy factor.

Someone should attend and get us a play by play of the nights happenings.
