So, clearly there is nothing more to write about today then yesterday’s HOF election results.  And though I am still not a believer in Rice, I always get a little won over when I see how happy that borderline guy is upon getting the call. Nick Carfado’s piece gives you that, as well as a way to look at Rice’s career that makes you go, OK On-base didn’t really matter.  It might also be a good piece for Michael Young to read, or maybe he should just give Yaz a call, since it might have been Yaz that the got the Red Sox to what Dan Shaughnessy called the greatest World Series ever played in 1975.  My sentiment, his words.  Ann Killian writes about Rickey, who we may see in an Oakland uniform one day this year, so that he can officially retire an Oakland A.  Congrats to both men on their induction– Anyone going to make the trip? Let us know on the messageboard!
