The world is not a prison house but a kind of spiritual kindergarten where millions of bewildered infants are trying to spell God with the wrong blocks. ~Edwin Arlington Robinson
January 19th was a sad day. This earth, and the game of baseball, lost two giants - Earl Weaver and Stan Musial. Stan 'The Man' was laid to rest this past Saturday. On Sunday, the St. Louis Blues paid tribute to the baseball legend by having every member of the team wear No. 6 Stan Musial jerseys for pregame warmups against the Minnesota Wild.
Let's start 2013 off right. Fuck Roger Clemens, Mark McGwire, Rafael Pameiro, Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa - liars & cheats. Sorry, Tigers' fans, it's unlikely that Jack Morris or Alan Trammell will make the cut. Who DESERVES to get in - Joe Torre (Who, despite having HOF credentials as both a player and manager, must wait until the 2014 Expansion Era ballot or the 2015 Golden Era ballot), Mike Piazza and Jeff Bagwell.
