    Welcome to the Hall, Rickey. What took so long?

    Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are .

    Re: Welcome to the Hall, Rickey. What took so long?

    this quote made me chuckle ...

    "And for all the numbers crunching the world can provide there is one stat that means more than anything else in baseball — runs scored. A team can get outhit and win. It can get outpitched and win. It can get outplayed defensively and win. But it can't get outscored and win."

    Thought this tibit was interesting too:

    "If someone deserves to be in the Hall of Fame he deserves to be in his first year on the ballot. Once the player is elected he is a Hall of Famer, treated the same as all others. There's no pecking order based on the year of eligibility in which the selection was made."

    I wonder when he gives his acceptance speech, if he will refer to himself in 3rd person. Im sure he will.

    At any rate, is it just me, or was this a really weird, meandering article?
