Arena The Major League Baseball Thread

Just decades?

 

"i'm not here to talk about the past, i'm here to be positive about the future"

 

Report: Felix Hernandez, Braves Agree to $1M Minor League Contract

 

whoa. it would be really cool if he does well.

 

It was pretty funny; just the other day I was playing a game of MLB The Show '19 where my Yankees were visiting Seattle when Hernandez was pitching, and you could see a section in left field of yellow jerseys.

 

16 decades is still decades!

 

Happy to see Larry Walker finally make the Hall.

Amazing.

 

Not the biggest fan of a player needing the full 10-years on the ballot before getting in, because if the case for him was that great/solid, well, it shouldn't have taken this long.

 

Jeter fell one vote short of unanimous. Someone fire up the outrage machine!

Amazing.

 

I’m surprised he was that high. I expected at least a dozen.

 

He was almost right, he only made it by 6 votes.

Amazing.

 

Congrats to the newest Yankee HOFer! (I'm not overly upset about the one vote).


I went to the Yankees Fanfest in the late Winter of '96 (around January or February). There were dozens of popular ballplayers like Mattingly, Bernie Williams, Reggie Jackson, Phil Rizzuto; all there signing autographs with tremendously long lines. Then I noticed a young guy a few years older than I was sitting at a booth with no one waiting for his auto. Feeling sorry for him, I opened up my '95 NYY Yearbook, found his picture, and he signed it, To Jon, Best Wishes, Derek Jeter.

 

Sure, and he's of course a very, very, very good talent, with some elite years... but enough of them to be in Hall? He, like Mussina, Baines and others recently of that ilk, are just at threshold, but shouldn't get in. Not exactly in the camp of having a big Hall of Fame.

 

Thing about Schilling is the folks on MLB think there's a high probability he'll get in next year.

 

Maybe if he doesn't sprout out any Nazi propaganda between now and then, sure.

 

Maybe, but look at the ballot the last 10 years. It's been packed. Hard to crack 75% when the writers are limited to voting for 10 players and the ballot has a backlog of talent.

Amazing.

 

Who the **** is Jon?!?!?! I thought your name was Tano. But I guess that was all bull**** now huh

 

Thank goodness Walker made it in this year!

 

larry walkers parents are named mary and larry, and his brothers are named gary, carey and barry.

also look at this fit.



tell me he doesn't belong in the hall of fame!!

 

When will the Hall be done with their obvious anti-Yankee bias. He'd have been unanimous PLUS FIVE if he played for Boston or Detroit. Why do Hall of Fame voters hate the Yankees?

 

Let's just try and imagine what would have been in the gift basket though?

 

really didn't think Walker should make the Hall. Played 10 seasons in Colorado and still didn't hit 400 home runs. didn't hit more than 23 in a season before he got there. Batting average definitely inflated playing there.
