Outside looking in One of the greatest sources of true heat during the Hot Stove season is arguing about who should be in the Hall of Fame. You just don't get the same kind of passion when discussing the Hall of Fame in the other sports. For baseball fans, it's a pastime in itself. So I thought it would be fun to come up with a team of the best eligible guys NOT in the Hall of Fame...

Now security is taking fans brown paper bags away from them in Detriot so fans can't protest the games by being unknown fans. I think management of any pro team has to allow their fans to express themselves, even if they don't like what they have to say. Without the fans the team wouldn't exist.

Well at least, security didnt threaten to arrest them. Last year I witnessed two of the The Parking Lot Attendant's (thugs)..errr security at Dodger Stadium threaten to arrest two teenagers, who did the old paper bag over the head, if they didnt hand them over. The kids complied, so I didnt see if security would actually follow through on the treat. The kids said security had informed them that it was a public safety issue. I have a feeling this was a result of the $2 Tuesdays promo riot-fiasco.

Bargain or bust Will Nomar be the player of old or damaged goods? Yankees first baseman Jason Giambi is trying to recruit Nomar while some Red Sox fans such as Napster founder Shawn Fanning want Garciaparra back in Boston.

Nomar is No More. But the Chowderheads will over pay since they cleared out Renteria. The only thing Bean town has to worry about is the Parking Lot attendent in LA, trying to corner the market on short stops and re-create Sox-west with the fast-talking Mr. Little. As for me, I look forward to buying 1/2 price Dodger tickets from pissed off season ticket holders.

I am just glad that Pete Rose was left off the list, the guy cut a deal to save his skin and stop the gamblimg on baseball investigation, and then disengenously goes in with Pony and mastercard to promote his book and squeeze his way into the hall. More than that, the guy signed anything you could write on with a sharpie, and then (OOPS) forgot to pay tax on it, he plead guilty to criminal tax evasion. It hasn't changed much either. If you want to meet Pete, your best shot is to go to the Turf Club at Santa Anita Racetrack, just wait until he gets a couple of drinks down, and he might sign a losing bet ticket, he did for a friend of mine.
