I still think it’s a joke that Rivera was the first to be unanimously voted in. Not that he’s not deserving, just all the guys before that had no votes, and the first one was a closer.

I think it's a joke that it took that long to get unanimous votes for the HOF. Sanctimonious idiot sportswriters kept this going at least 30 years longer than necessary, along with the stupid "first-ballot" crap.

...and not even the greatest closer in the history of the game. Hells bells!
 
Sad news for sure.

Agreed. You either think they deserve to be in and vote for them, or you don't.

And then there's the blank ballots.

There hasn't been 10 candidates on the ballot that are "no-doubt" guys in almost 30 years. At this point, it should be about which fringe guys get in, and practically all the legit no doubters should be on every writer's ballot. I'd buy blank ballots until Beltre shows up. And, as much as I think Jeter gets overblown, there's no argument I can accept for not voting him into the Hall.
 
Cant believe the Mets had Tom Seaver and Nolan Ryan
 
The first MLB game I ever attended was when my dad and I made a trip to NY from Toronto when I was twelve back in '73. We ended up watching the Mets and the Cardinals at Shea Stadium. Tom Seaver was pitching that day. The Mets lost 3-2.

RIP, TS

And all they got out of it was Jim Fregosi, who was coming off his worst offensive season prior to the trade. He didn't hit any better as a Met.
