    Good news on the anti-doping front, albeit a different sport. They rejected that a-hole Schilling, too. Excellent!

    From the article....

    "The BBWAA election rules say "voting shall be based upon the player's record, playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character, and contributions to the team(s) on which the player played.""

    1, 2 & 6...yes
    3, 4 & 5....no.

    Apparently 3 out of 6 doesn't quite cut it.....

    Today's NY Times sports section has an interesting article about the cheats, bigots and, in Ty Cobb's case, sociopaths that have been elected to the Hall of Fame.

    I never understood why they kept Pete Rose out. Wasn't the vast majority of his betting after his playing days? He was a great baseball player. Did he do anything to diminish his value as a player while he was playing?
