Who's a Hall of Famer?

[ChuckD]

I love Reggie Miller. Mostly because I don't like black people.

[Quality Start Machine]

I blame Spike Lee.

I blame Spike Lee.

If it weren't for Spike Lee, Reggie Miller would be Dale Ellis.

[Gilgamesh]

Ron Santo is.

Everyone on the Veterans Committee should be beaten to death with one of Santo's wooden legs.

Notsofast. Mike Royko in 1997 suggested it might not have been so bad Santo was excluded.

Suppose Ron got inducted back in 1997. Then what? Maybe he gets gently shitcanned from his radio gig, and he goes quietly into the night.

He explicitly stated that he did not want to be inducted posthumously. They're swine.

Wait, are you making an argument that it would have been better or worse for him to go into the HOF then?

I'm with Wheezer/Fork here.  They're swine, at best.  It's sad that I was actually angered by what should be good news.  The Veteran's Committee couldn't handle Ron joining their little club while alive, but now they put him in when he can't enjoy it and .  I suspect his wife or son will give the induction speech and I hope, whoever does it, they don't hold back to mention publicly what a low blow from the Veteran's Committee this was.  

So what if he was removed from the radio gig.  Sure we would have all missed out on some famous Ron moments, but he would have had HOF next to his name.  I'm guessing he would have traded that for the radio gig and might have just made as much money signing autographs.  I suspect witnessing a Cubs WS title would have been the only thing higher on his list.

I hope someone substantially better at writing than myself (Andy - I'm talking to you....) can properly depict what a shame this situation is.

Best suggestion I heard all day is that Jeff Santo accepts the plaque, walks up to the microphone, says, "Fuck you!" then leaves.
