Baseball’s all star game is a total joke

So is the hall of fame.

Jack Morris, one of the best pitchers of the 80's can't even get close because a bunch of spoiled sports writers can't stand him.

I wouldn't vote for Jack Morris, but then, there's a lot of guys in there that wouldn't have gotten my vote. Even so, my rule for HoF is simple and elegant---if there is any doubt, the answer is no.

Try it out and see. If there is ANY pause to think it over, then it's no. In my hall, the only people inducted would be clear, unquestionable immortals, and the great and near-great players on the outside looking in would serve as further testament to the greatness of those on the inside.

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.
