I haven't read the entirety of this thread yet - but did you guys see that one BBWAA guy voted for Jacque Jones?

This is a great article about the scout who signed Greg Maddux.

The line by the scout's wife at the end is priceless.

That is a good line. Lots of good stuff in that article. Here is a scouting report filed by Mike Rizzo on Big Frank. He was a little light on the future hitting tool.

The game which is so Stat oriented WAR/OBP/OPS/ERA....and on and on. Not to have the All-Time Hit Leader or Homerun Leader in it is fucking stupid.

I'm assuming this is the same Mike Rizzo who is currently Generally, Managing the Natinals?

That's him. Rizzo started out as an area scout for the Sox. He's got a pretty good draft record going for him.

Why not just make HOW inductees take a polygraph on whether or not they took steroids prior to induction? If they pass, they are inducted.

Greg Maddux will go into the HOF with no logo. Very odd.

LaRussa is having the same thing.

I guess Greg Maddux disagrees with JORR :lol:

That's strange...I can understand not leaving it up to the player (who could try to sell the honor to the highest bidder like Wade Boggs allegedly did), but if I'm the player I would want some team logo on the hat. It would look funny without one.
