It differentiates you from the blogging masses.<BR/><BR/>A healthy, well-reasoned debate can be had without calling out someone's cocksmanship and/or mother.<BR/><BR/>That said, your penis is healthy and strong, but your mother is dreadful.

Fifteen years is ridiculous. As you said Ron, you're either in or your not. <BR/><BR/>Kent will be there when it is all said and done. I think its fun to look at the counterarguments to his candidacy even when most consider him an absolute lock for Cooperstown.<BR/><BR/>Again, thanks for the comments everyone.Jorge Says No!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04358737179481087781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1153099884472898149.post-90738149617101875582009-01-22T11:41:00.000-05:002009-01-22T11:41:00.000-05:00First Ballot.

He didn't. He played 2B. He gets judged against all 2B in history. Not DH's, not LF'er, not 3B, not Pitchers. 2B only.<BR/><BR/>2) How is someone a Hall of Famer if they aren't a first ballot Hall of Famer. They either are or they aren't the day they retire. Maybe if they would change the rules and let voters vote for as many players as they want (and not just 10) and limit to 1 year on the ballot (you're in or you're not) then we wouldn't have any controversy.<BR/><BR/>But a guy doesn't become a Hall of Famer after he retires. He either was or he wasn't.Ron Rollinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16852012772573977515noreply@blogger.com
