I agree. He should have been inducted into the HoF several years ago. Baseball fans understand this. It is only conservatives who understand the whys and wherefores of it.
The left is forever fascist.
When the NFL first screwed Rush over, I was so mad.
But now I’m happy cuz it looks like he totally dodged a bullet:
PRO SPORTS — FULL OF COWARDLY, LIBERAL MANAGEMENT & OWNERSHIP...!!
That’s nonsense.
He’s probably right, but what can you do? It’s just a contest, not a job. This same attitude comes into play for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, so I hear.
Political correctness makes it immoral to be conservative in any way, or have any non progressive opinions. Those of us who have friends or family who are progressive, are more than likely regarded as bigots and almost subhuman in their eyes. This will only get worse until PC is finally outer for what it is.
Don’t be so worried whether you get into the hall or not Curt.
The problem with Schilling's argument is that Smoltz is not a Democrat.
Sports writers are members of the media. About 90% of the media are leftists. Connect the dots.
John Smoltz is a Republican, or at least associated with Republicans.
One of the juicy bits regarding the case is that two RI State legislators,one a Rat and the other a Republican,have received threats to stop investigating the case.
Anyone who's curious should google "38 Studios"...pretty nasty stuff.
Republican? Maybe.But just as possible due to millions in missing cash and threats of physical harm made by an unknown person.
Craig Biggio is a devout Catholic, coached at a Catholic high school and is. Conservative and he was elected to the HoF.
Curt is delusional.
It’s reported that Smoltz is a Republican, though not a very vocal one like Schilling. Smoltz also had four great seasons as a closer so that may have tipped the scales. I think he’s the only MLB pitcher to have 200 wins as a starter and 150 saves as a closer. That’s quite a feat in itself.
Or maybe because he’s kind of a jerk?
I believe him. Imagine if he were CONSERVATIVE, too. ;-)
Which is it?!
Baseball sports writers are amongst the most liberal left of all “journalists”.
Not surprised.
The writers usually love players with all that playoff success, so I do think things about Schilling other than his production probably has something to do with it. I have no idea if his political leanings are one of those things.
Freegards
I wonder what Don Mattingly did to be excluded from the HOF.
Yes, it probably did. The sports media is every bit as liberal as any other part of the media.
