He also adds another win to my Hall Of Fame Record, which is a pathetic 3-6
Here's the past three years of picks, starting from the inception of this blog, January of 2006...
2006 Picks For The Hall Of Fame
My Picks: Goose Gossage, Jim Rice, Lee Smtih, Bert Blyleven, Tommy John
Actual Inductees: Bruce Sutter
I was overly optomistic here. This was before I would learn the hard lessons of blogging. That and I never thought Sutter was a Hall of Famer. Obviously, the voters of the BBWAA thought differently.
2007 Picks For The Hall Of Fame
My Picks: Tony Gywnn, Cal Rikpen Jr.
Actual Inductees: Same
No brainers really.
2008 Picks For The Hall Of Fame
My Picks: Gossage, Rice
Actuall Inductees: Gossage
Damn it, I thought for sure Rice would get in. He came up just short.
Quick Thoughts On Next Year
We'll see two more Hall Of Famers Inducted, Rice (who will be riding high on his near induction and will likely make it in his final year on the ballot) and Ricky Henderson (a slam dunk first ballot induction.)
Bert Blyleven will come close, but just fall short of induction.
I'm a long time Texas Rangers fan who has come to love baseball as a whole. I recently began this blog as a way for me to showcase my opinions, provide some analysis, and hopefully entertain those who happen to stumble upon my little soapbox online. I'll toss in an NFL, College, or NBA nugget every now and then. Enjoy the posts everyone, and yes, getting a little love in a Deadspin post was probably the highlight of the year, blogwise.
