I agree that Jack Morris was one good pitcher. I think his game 7 performance against the Braves was one for the ages. He was super that night. There are a lot of guys that pitched for sorry teams, had a lot of losses pitching for those teams, yet won 280+ games and are not in the hall. Jim Kaat pitched for over 20 years. Do you punish the guy for pitching that long? He has nearly 300 wins yet is not going to get in. Just like Bert Blyleven had to hang in forever to get in. Kaat was not dominate, but he was a very good pitcher for a lot of years for a lot of sorry teams. He won 20 games a few times and was in a World Series. Yet no hall. That is a shame. Lots of good players who had very good careers will not get in, yet a bunch of drug induced players will eventually get in. I think ARod and even Clemens will get in eventually. Some day, maybe after they are dead, they will get in by the old timers committee who will by then be post-druggies themselves and will vote them in. As long as Bonds does not get in, I am happy. I hate that guy. He is a punk.

That’s a great question about Barry Bonds. WILL he get into the HOF? If he doesn’t because of the steroid use, or just being a jerk to practically everyone who has met him, there will still be cries of racism. But then Pete Rose probably won’t get in either. Not during his lifetime anyway.
