Yeah, Jeter probably gets in. Walker's probably biting his nails at this point. I think he's going to fall just short though. Guess we'll find out in an hour and a half.

t tarnished his legacy the day he broke that bat and revealed his home run power in the form of a very much cheating corked bat

Lol. That was the straw that broke the camel's back eh?

Media outrage over this will be hilarious.

Honestly, the whole "unanimous vote" and "first ballot" shit has been pomposity at it's finest. There aren't ten guys in any one individual HOF class that get in anymore. With yearly voting, most guys who get in should be close to 100% anyway.

This "100%" and "first ballot" nonsense happened because there were legitimately 40 eventual HOFers on the first several ballots. Once the initial logjam cleared, the whole thing should have died, but people continued to make it matter. Let it go.

The person who didn't vote for Jeter is a national hero.

"First ballot" works in the NFL because only five guys get it, but in MLB the notion needs to just stop. Votes aren't restricted so either the guy is or the guy isn't.

More egregious than anyone not getting 100% of the vote, IMO.
What if I told you the reason Jeter didn't get 100% of the vote was because some random guy voted for Putz and Penny instead of Jetes?

the whole 100% ballot thing is dumb. that being said, I do love it just because I get to hear from butthurt Yankees fans.

man, Bonds and Clemens didn't get any real traction the last few years. not looking too great for them right now. Vizquel getting in would be a joke but it looks like that will be the case in the next few years. I'm happy to see Rolen gain momentum (35.3%). I think he'll make it on the writers' ballot down the road. Schilling probably makes it next year.

It was 9:29 (9:29)
9:29 back street big city
The sun was going' down, there was music all around
It felt so right

It was one of those nights, one of those nights
When you feel the world stop turnin', you were standing there
There was music in the air
I should have been away
But I knew I'd have to stay


Last train to London, just headin' out,
Last train to London, just leavin' town.
But I really want tonight to last forever
I really wanna be with you.
Let the music play on down the line tonight
