    Is the 2010 Baseball Hall of Fame Ballot a Blank Slate?

    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 .

    It's arguably unfair that Alomar will be judged as much for The Great Spitting Incident of 1996 as for the rest of his sterling career, but these are the issues that tend to stick in the minds of BBWAA voters.
    Actually, I had completely forgotten about that until I read the article. I think he also said something derogatory about his son, who was a special needs child. Still doesn't mean he should be left out of the Hall.

    I also completely disagree with his take on McGwire.

    this is off topic, but i find it interesting how little support Belle got.

    i realize he had a short career, bc of injuries at the end. And the media HATED him....and he was a total hot head. But he still had a great career
