01/08: The Goose is Loose
Hat tip to David Pinto who notes that
Goose Gossage gets into the Hall of Fame with 86% of the vote.
Jim Rice came the closest to getting in (though I personally am unsure that he deserves a berth in the HoF). Bert Blyleven jumped from last year to garnering 62% of the vote this year and hopefully, at some point,the writers will realize that he belongs.
I am really disappointed at the showings for McGwire and Raines though.
Less than 24% each? Really? That's all that these guys could muster? I mean, really - Lee Smith put up 43% of the vote.
