Griffey and Piazza are hall of famers edition
http://www.baseballhall.org/hof/class-of-2016
1st for Dad's world series
Is Piazza the first gay member of a major sports hall of fame?
If Piazza had played in Milwaukee, nobody would have voted for him.
>>64728119
nice post

Is this DG's new trip?
First the jints, then dodgers, now dads?
>>64728160
If he wasn't a catcher and had to rest and miss ABs once a week every week of his career he would have 500 HRs and he would be in the hall from any city.
>>64728186
She's clearly a beard bro. The Olivia Munn to Piazzas Aaron Rodgers. I remember when the gay rumors came out, then all of a sudden he marries some random Playboy model. Damage control at it's finest.

yeah, he'll definitely be the first to miss out.
>>64728120
Piazza got in because of his bat; he was a first baseman in catcher's gear, because he couldn't frame pitches, throw out a runner, or call a game to save his life.
Also, Torre got in as a manager not a player, and Ted Simmons isn't a HoFer.

Soon...
Beltran, Beltre, Ortiz, Suzuki, Cabrerra, Pujols, Aroid, Sabathia, King Felix, and Kershaw should be the only active locks for the HoF.
So the hot take de jour is:
>Take away the votes of the 3 people who didn't vote for Griffey!!!11
I thought it was common knowledge that some voters leave of the "sure things" to give their vote to someone on the bubble, since they only get a maximum of 10 votes.

>This is the greatest moment Mariners fans will have all season
>>64728453
Yes you read that post correctly fuccboi
>>64728385
that's stupid though. Even if what I said about him being a fielder in a catcher's suit is true, you can't ignore that he's the best-hitting catcher ever aside from Bench.
>>64728425
>I thought it was common knowledge that some voters leave of the "sure things" to give their vote to someone on the bubble, since they only get a maximum of 10 votes.
exactly. that's why no one has been or ever will be unanimous.
>>64728417
>Safatthia
>Felix
also, why is Miggy being heralded as a future HOFer when he's basically our generation's McGwire but hits for average better?
>>64728237
>there are people who actually take the time to gay bash
get a life bruv. desu senpai
>there are people who unironically don't think David Eckstein isn't a HOFer.
Name 1 player with more grit and clutch than Dave. Oh that's right you cant. Also he won rings in both leagues. Elite.
But since he didn't do roids to jack up his power numbers he's undeserving. Hes basically Jeter with slightly less power but way better defense.
Props to the writer who had the balls to vote for Eck.
>>64728263
Francesa, do you not know that every flub on your show never gets caught. The dudes on your dump button are fucking clueless. *handwave*. Not sure why I actually directed that to Mike himself. But big ups to Piazza 9-11 homerun motherfuckers

They do this as an acknowledgement that the guys were good players, like giving respect.They know they arent getting in. Like a poetic fistbump

>>64728417
>Ortiz
I'm going to laugh when this fat fuck retires and he gets less then 10% on the first ballot for roiding.
>>64728606
What about Bonds and A-Rod? If you discount them, there's still Pujols and Trout.
>>64728554
Why do Mariners fans act so obnoxious about everything?
>>64728632
Every time he denies it, it just makes it worse.

>>64728796
I misspoke about Rivera being in the Hall, I forgot he's only been gone a year or two.
Point being, given how Rivera IS the greatest closer in history, he will get pretty damn close to 100%, but not quite unanimous; there will be "that(those) guy(s) who left Mariano Rivera off his HoF ballot".
Derek Jeter isn't even a top 15 SS and he shouldn't get 100%. Now do you know what I mean?

>>64729000
>His most famous client, the man whose career he was credited with reshaping and saving from mortality’s shadow, was Derek Jeter. In 2010, a few years into Riley’s makeover, The Daily News proclaimed: “Derek is turning back the clock at short.” ESPN declared that Riley had “dumped the Captain into a hot tub time machine” and turned him into a 25-year-old.
Significant caveats are in order here: No evidence has emerged linking Jeter to performance-enhancing drugs, and Sly did not connect him to banned substances, although he boasted of helping other athletes obtain them. And a connection to Sly, Riley or anyone else is hardly proof of any wrongdoing.

>trader
lel missouri public schools
>>64729175
I know, I read the article a couple of times (mostly because it's manning proof).
I still think there's a pretty good distinctive connection between Jeter and someone associated to HGH
Not that I really care for HGH. I'm not as adamant about steroids being this big evil monster as many others are.
But he's a cheater and should be hung from the gallows.
>>64729160
Al Jazeera just released a list of names for people that they thought used HGH with little to no evidence. Do you really think that Jeter's name wouldn't have been on that list if there is even a slight chance of evidence?
>>64729077
I think he should, along with Bonds and Clemens. You can't pick and choose who "looks like they roided" or have no evidence of roid use like the idiot writers are doing; the pitchers should consider themselves lucky, as almost all the deserving ones except Clemens got in without a trace of suspicion or rumor-mongering about roid use.
>>64729089
yeah but none of the others you mentioned were the greatest ever to play their positions. And catcher is the hardest position to be and stay elite at long enough to have a shot at the Hall if you do it full-time without eventually transitioning to first base and/or DH for half your career.
>>64729141
he should go in as a Card. He's the best hitter they've ever had aside from Stan Musial
>>64729077
If the vet commitee gets him and other roiders like Bonds in, it would be alright but only after they die
>>64729216
>Al Jazeera just released a list of names for people that they thought used HGH with little to no evidence
Video testament by a guy who worked at the clinic, video of the drugs in the guys fridge, video of a player coming to his house. The Guyer institute then lied about him not working there in 2011 (it was proven he did). The Guyer institute lied about never supplying HGH (Bob Kravitz confirmed he received some from there, and the doctor in question was part of a medical indictment for illegal Chinese HGH)
There's plenty of evidence about the HGH scandal being real, most people are just writing it off as a non-story because 1) Muh peypey 2) people turn a blinds-eye to steroids/hormones 3) muh arab terrorist news
There's more evidence, like big shipments of HGH to Peyton's house under his wife's name.
I hate it when people say there's no evidence, there's a shit ton of fucking evidence.
>but muh the guy recanted his story
Oh so he spoke about things like pig brain peptide and explicit illegal drugs in countries like Toradol and linked them to specific players, but because he recanted his story *AFTER THE FACT* that therein it was really just a big hoax?
I mean sheesh.
But to answer your question, I'm just shitpostingly trolling you about Jeter, I don't think he actually took HGH (to any grand degree like Peypey). I just wanted to butt-bother you.

Also, I just got home to finally enjoy Griffey highlights, articles and retrospectives. This one is amazing for radio listeners.

It's just someone trying to keep them on the ballot when they know damn well they'll never get enough votes. I'm betting the same person didn't vote for Griffey and voted for Nomar.
I think it was two years ago when someone voted for Aaron Sele. I couldn't believe it.
>>64730022
The almost .300ave is nice and 300 more hits than games played looks nice on paper, otherwise it was a meme vote on a slightly better than average player.
And just like players with under 5% votes get kicked off... the 3 jackasses who didn't vote KGJ should get the boot as well.
>>64728407
The Roylels mowed down 3 MadBum clones in the Eries. The original MadBum is no threat now that they can handle him.

>>64728617
No team had the balls. White Sox wanted 3 year max contract and every other team didn't want to pay for an aging player. He is 31. He was likely to retire from the team he signed to next and his groin injury was troubling. Keep an eye on the Royals, rumor has it they are pulling up some talent from their farm to backstop his shortcomings from age.

So I write this guy a letter and shit and tell him I'm a huge fan and the first MLB game I ever attended he hit a grand slam and shit.. that mother fucker never wrote me back.

Pro tip: If you do charity work looking for something in return, then it's not charity work bud.

> Thats terrible. I guess im hungry again now
>>64732910

>>64732923
Except you literally could not get anything for giving out free soup. Other than soup.
But I get your point. Still misplaying the definition of charity, though.

>When he was 12, Piazza received personal instruction in his backyard batting cage from Ted Williams.[10] The Hall of Famer praised his talent, advised him not to let anyone change his swing, and autographed Piazza's copy of Williams' The Science of Hitting.[9]

this
>ywn be a 62nd rounder drafted only because you have connections to tommy lasorda and go on to display your worth, become the greatest hitting catcher ever, and prove everyone who passed on you wrong by making it into the hall of fame
how anyone can not like mike piazza is unfathomable to me
the man was my god growing up
>>64733093
Holy crap, did you read that all by yourself? You realize it's winter RIGHT NOW right?
>>64733034

turned the heater on lads, starting to regain consciousness
>>64733110
What the hell are you even saying? I can't read this shit.
>>64733098
People only dislike him either because of the roid allegations or because they are Roger Clemens
>>64733093
No. Rangers.
>>64733101
would you shut the fuck up
>>64733127
It is winter m8.
>>64733141
I dont know what you mean man, too cold for me to understand.
>>64733141
too frigid can't comprehend.
>>64733141
How cold/warm does it have to be for me to do that?
real shit tho famm I'm in flordia and it's only like 50 degrees here I'm chillier than a motherfucka
>>64733135
it annoys me that people still buy into the roids thing for him with absolutely no proof, but that's life i guess
>mfw piazza is in the hall and clemens will NEVER get in
>>64733172
>griffey in with record percentage
>A-roid is literally Veteran's Committee bound
>>64733172
So you don't think Arod or Sammy, Mc, or anybody else should get in then?
>>64733214
it's too cold to tell desu
>>64733214
It's the winter, can never be sure in times like these.
But A-Roid and Barry are elite talent so they really should be in. But A-Roid is still a fucking whiny bitch.
>>64733201
it feels comfy as fuck to have only griffey and piazza get in this year t b h
all this smugness that only our fanbases can share
>>64733214
idc if they do or not really, i know how good they were without needing a bunch of old writers to tell me
i only care about my own team's players making it in because i love them and want them to succeed
>>64733214
>sosa
lmao no
talk about a fraud built off steroids
>yfw middle of winter and mets will face the o's in the world series
>>64733260
>yfw middle of winter and the phillies will face themselves in spring training
>>64733214
Mcgwire and Sosa will have to wait for the Veteran's Committee. Basically the election tier among roiders or suspected roiders is like this
Possible election by the writers tier: Bonds, Clemens, maybe A-rod and Ortiz
Veteran's Committee tier: Sosa, McGwire, maybe Palmeiro
Never EVER tier: Canseco, Braun
>>64733253
You mean Piazza
