Chipper's speech has impressed me. My all time favorite player, but this is by far the most articulate I've ever heard him.

I really hope Andruw gets in, arguably the best defensive CF ever and has the HRs and RBIs to back it up. His Batting average and how he did after he left Atlanta hurt him though.

I had turned it over right as they were introducing him. Was a good speech. Loved watching those teams with him, Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz. Sucks only won one WS in all those years.

Is an interpreter gonna have to give Vlad's speech?
I hope not. It kinda aggravates me that after playing almost 20 he didnt learn any English. Granted most of those were in Montreal where they speak French.

He was a HOF lock at 30. He played so bad after that though it made him very borderline.

Statistically, he's the best defensive CF of all time though, and he was a far better offensive weapon than Ozzie Smith.

96 was the worst. Had that huge comeback in the NLCS against the Cardinals, go up to Yankee Stadium and destroy them in the first 2 games and then shit the bed. Pisses me off to this day

Would have been nice to have another one.

91 and 92, the team was still young, and still probably should have won in 91.

But after 95, the Yankees dynasty happened.

The HOF induction is for thanking those that helped you get to where you are, which is what makes Terrell Owens such a douchebag,

Newk has thrown 4 perfect innings against a really good team. Maybe he's worked on his nerves. But then again, a lot of people were watching the HOF induction.

This is becoming a trend....have 1 huge offensive game every series and cant score in the other games.
