What! The White Sox' Minnie Minoso is not in the Baseball Hall of Fame
2011-04-07 21:12:00 ( Alex Garcia, Chicago Tribune / April 6, 2011 ) White Sox legend Minnie Minoso at U.S. Cellular Field, the day before Opening Day. That's an outrage. I don't generally follow who's in the Baseball Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, N.Y. The more fascinating reading is who didn't make it. And this morning, thanks to a fine column by Phil Rogers in the Tribune, I discovered that the beloved Chicago White Sox icon Minnie Minoso is not in the Hall. I couldn't believe it. No one should have to explain to Chicagoans or true baseball fans anywhere who Orestes "Minnie" Minoso is. Here is a summary of his career: In his Major League career, Miñoso hit for a .298 batting average, with...

Ex-Bulls representing the Hall of Fame finalists

2011-02-01 22:45:00 It had to be difficult for Gessner to walk down the asile past so many people and up the stairs while he was getting a standing ovation. His exception speah was short and sincere. He was truly honored to receive such a prestegious award bestowed upon him becasue of the documented support of his friends and clients. Gessner's induction into the Hall of Fame as a Legendary Guide is without a doubt well deserved because of his nearly three decades of dedication to the outdoors.

Benito Santiago Misses Hall of Fame by Scant 435 Vote Margin
2011-01-06 06:08:00 Do latino moustaches not get as much attention as white people's moustaches? I guess we figured out why Rafael Palmeiro didn't get in. They (latinos) come into this nation with nothing in their pockets...dreams of making it big! 'Son, you can make it to the Hall of Fame if you try just hard enough!' Then...poof! 'I'm sorry, kid...but you're moustache doesn't measure up to the other great moustaches.' Next thing you know they're complimenting you on how you're a 'hard worker' and come from a 'close knit family' and how they admire your 'willingness to work hard for long hours and not complain'.

Blackhawks Should Retire A Number, Re-Open Hall of Fame Discussion for Chic
2010-12-10 04:26:00 In pro sports, momentum is nearly everything. A bad game can hurt a player's confidence. A second bad game can create doubt. And a streak in the wrong direction can sometimes end a career. On the opposite end of the spectrum, a little "mo" can take a player from the doghouse to the penthouse in a heartbeat, and can make heroes out of anyone. Momentum can be an important part of a player's career after it ends, too. Whether it's the player himself or the team he played for, a little good (or bad) will can redefine a player's career. Just look at how post-career events have changed the public opinions of players like Pete Rose and OJ Simpson. With...

Ron Santo's Passing Should Not Change Hall Of Fame Status....
2010-12-03 20:08:00 Chicago lost a hometown legend today. With the news breaking early this morning that the greatest man ever to man the hot corner at Wrigley Field Ron Santo passed away due to complications from bladder cancer. Santo passes this morning at the age of 70 and will be remembered not only as a great icon in Chicago sports but a great human being. No man did more for diabetes research in this city than one Ron Santo and in the few times meeting Santo as a broadcaster/producer in this town, he was indeed as true of a gentleman as he was spoken of by all you will hear from today. However in passing I have heard throughout this morning that...

Hall of Fame Candidates Don't Measure Up To Santo
2010-11-08 23:14:00 This is another post about Ron Santo getting into the Hall of Fame, but it admittedly takes me awhile to get there. The Baseball Hall of Fame announced today that 12 individuals are up for election to the Hall by the new Expansion Era Committee and any winners will be announced at the baseball winter meetings in Orlando on December 6. The Hall has done away with the "we don't want anybody else in our club and if pressured, we'll just vote in a dead guy like Joe Gordon" panel of all living HOF members doing the Veterans voting. Instead, this year the new panel votes on a group selected from 1973-present. Next year, the panel will look at Golden...

The Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame
2010-10-20 11:00:00 On Thanksgiving weekend I made the trek to St. Mary’s, Ontario to visit the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame. Much different than its American counterpart Cooperstown (home to the National Baseball Hall of Fame), St. Mary’s is a tiny picturesque rural community with not much going on at all. The Hall itself isn’t much to look at: 4 rooms on ...

The Hawk's Hall of Fame Induction: LIVE!
2010-07-25 20:58:00 No offense to Jon Miller and Joe Maddon, who no doubt are entitled to enjoy their big day (even if Jon Miller DID have Joe Morgan introduce him), but no one really cares about your speeches. In the future, the media guys need to keep their acknowledgements a LOT shorter, because, let's be honest, we're all really here for the players. Wille Mays hasn't moved for a good 30 minutes, and I think someone should check for a pulse. Right now, Johnny Bench is doing a really, really horrible impersonation of Harry Caray, and no one is singing along with his horrible rendition of Take Me Out to the Ballgame. Also, Ozzie Smith and Rod Carew are going to have...
Jeremy Roenick Elected to U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame [with JR Blackhawk Highl

Jeremy Roenick Entering US Hockey Hall of Fame
2010-07-22 22:54:00 On Thursday, the US Hockey Hall of Fame announced the Class of 2010, and front and center is former Blackhawks' superstar Jeremy Roenick. The thought of celebrating Roenick's career got the wheels turning... so many memories, so many great highlights, such an ugly divorce. What do you remember most about the Jeremy Roenick Era of the Chicago Blackhawks? Roenick was drafted eighth overall in 1988 and climbed to the NHL level late that season. He pitched in 18 points in 20 games and was effective in the playoffs his rookie season. Roenick's first full season in the NHL, 1989-90, saw him score 26 goals and 40 assists as the Blackhawks improved 22 points in the standings. He was starting to...
Spielman Enters Hall of Fame, Forecasts 2010 Ohio St. Buckeyes
2010-07-19 03:40:00 Each member of the 2010 College Football Hall of Fame class had a large contingent of fans present in South Bend, Indiana this weekend to honor him. But of the 24 person class, the partisans present on behalf of Ohio State legend Chris Spielman stood out above the rest. They were the largest group; over a hundred strong showed up sporting Spielman's scarlet #36 jersey. And as well they should have- because Spielman truly made a name for himself during his four years in Columbus, leading the Buckeyes to three consecutive bowl games and two Big Ten Championships. Like every player eligible for CFHOF induction, he was also a first team All-American; and first team All-Big Ten three times....

Why Andre Dawson Does belong in the Hall of Fame
2010-01-10 15:58:00 Rock's argument is because it took Dawson 9 tries to get into the hall, he's not worthy. And because it took Jim Rice 15 attempts to get in, he doesn't belong, either. Nor should Bert Blyleven be elected even though next year will be his 14th atempt to gain entry into Cooperstown. |
