Fozzy
To borrow a phrase, my "Prime Nine" of things that nobody will ever convince me of: 1. That Pete Rose or Joe Jackson should be in the HOF. 2. That the DH makes the game more exciting. 3. That there is such a thing as a "curse" for the Cubs (my team), the Red Sox or any other baseball team. 4. That walk-up songs are worth getting excited about or even necessary) 5. Thay anyone can judge a youngster's playing ability or his future in the game without ever actually seeing him play. 6. That the home field advantage for the World Series should be determined by an exhibition. 7. That anyone other than Babe Ruth can ever be considered the GOAT. 8. That saying a team who is 20 games over .500 "sucks" is a clever remark. 9. That any sport anywhere in the world is greater than baseball, despite some of its' difficulties in the recent past.
Can anyone explain to me why so many people say a player who is a DH for most of his career (Edgar Martinez maybe) should not be in the HOF?
because he was only "half a player (meaning he didn't play defense) but do not use the same logic for AL pitchers who ONLY play defense? Aren't they "half players" too?
1 AnswerMythology & Folklore4 years agoIf you were (or are) a Cubs fan, who would you root for in the series between the Cards and Giants?
Do you wan the Giants to bet the Cards to get the Cubs closer to first place? Or do you root for the Cards to help the Cubs increase their lead for the second wild-card slot?
