PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Baseball Hall Of Fame: the 1973+ committee." |
Whatever they call themselves, they've got twelve names on their ballot and they're getting ready to vote. Given that we pretty much always follow suit, here's the list for your consideration.Players: Vida Blue
Dave Concepcion
Steve Garvey
Ron Guidry
Tommy John
Al Oliver
Ted Simmons
Rusty Staub Manager Billy Martin Executives Pat Gillick
Marvin Miller
George Steinbrenner Some undeserving. Some potentially going in. At least one total snub.

1. "RE: Baseball Hall Of Fame: the 1973 committee." |
Is this the same thing as the "Veterans Committee"?A little reinventing or just a way of hiding a few gray hairs? Anywho -- on to the task at hand: (and trying to be subjective without my innate anti-Yankee bias) Players: Vida Blue - Maybe
Dave Concepcion - Yes
Steve Garvey - Yes
Ron Guidry - Yes
Tommy John - Yes
Al Oliver - No
Ted Simmons - No
Rusty Staub - No Manager Billy Martin - Yes Executives Pat Gillick - No
Marvin Miller - No
George Steinbrenner - Yes

2. "Votes" |
LAST EDITED ON 11-18-10 AT 09:01 PM (EST)I typed a long post and then inadvertently deleted it instead of posting it. Let's try again, although a little shorter. As much as I despised him as a person, Steve Garvey is clearly the one HOF-worthy player here. Period. Vida Blue was a stupendous pitcher, but only for about seven or eight years. I'd still vote for him. And Al Oliver and Ted Simmons were both victimized by playing outside of the media limelight. I would like to see both of them make it. In addition, I'd vote for Billy Martin, because he was a star (if not HOF-worthy) as a player and then a star as a manager. Finally, although he doesn't have a snowball's chance of making it, I'd vote for Marvin Miller. He revolutionized the game, although not in ways that owners liked. Edited to add: So I would vote for six of these people to get in -- in other words, half of them. That won't happen. But I do think Garvey will make it. Whether the reformed committee will elect anyone else is an open question.

4. "RE: Voters identified." |
If this panel doesn't elect Dave Conception, no panel ever will. Three former Reds plus Ozzie Smith, Ryne Sandburg and Whitey Herzog?
