Yes, about time too! I think the Hall of Fame committee was waiting for him to pass before they would induct him. Apparently there was some bad blood from his playing days..

Not expecting too much out of the Cubs this year. I expect to see your team, the Phillies in the playoffs again. Shane Victorino has always impressed me, that guy is a gamer.

My god, Jen, you don't have to identify yourself as a Yankees fan to support Don Mattingly being elected to the Hall of Fame. Please, the force is strong in you ... don't go to the dark side.

I support Mattingly for the Hall of Fame, BTW.

I am a Boston Red Sox fan. No one realizes the power of the dark side better than us.

I could not agree more. The Yankees suck and I will never root for them as a team.

Individual Yankees are another matter. Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter from the current team, for example. Class acts. And I also agree that Don Mattingly should go to the Hall, but I won't change my baseball allegiances because of it.

Born and bred Astros fan here and I don't give a flying fuck about all the fair weather fans in that city, I love em and when they win it's a party and when they lose, meh it's a tough loss.

Although by all accounts Derek Jeter is a class act ... I can definitely attest that Mariano Rivera is a tremendous class act! I was very sorry to see that he got hurt this week and wish him a speedy recovery!

I worked with a cancer foundation for a number of years and with many baseball players (primarily from the Yankees, Red Sox, and Mets) helping to raise money for the foundation to help cancer patients. Mariano Rivera was a pleasure to work with ... polite and caring ... he worked tirelessly to help out the foundation. Just a wonderful human being! I know his baseball pitching stats speak volumes for how excellent he is on the field, but off of it he is just as great a person!

Mariano Rivera and former Boston Red Sox Carl Yastrzemski were the best to work with in the years I worked with this cancer foundation. Most were good ... they were GREAT! (Then you had some ... who although they agreed to help out ... couldn't wait for it to be over with like Roger Clemens and David Wells to name a couple).
