Khun Kao Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 This may be the wrong forum for this topic..... HOWEVER, this news piece SMACKS of correlation to our own continuing saga regarding Art Monk being snubbed by the NFL HoF Committee.... http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/5237536 The "Goose's" feelings concerning Rice's snub were particularly strong as he called it a "joke" that the Twins' Kirby Puckett was elected on the first ballot. Rice meanwhile is now 0-for-12 in Hall entry attempts. "If Jim Rice had played in the Metrodome, he would have torn the place down, and that's nothing against Kirby Puckett, that's just the way it is," Gossage said. What's more, Gossage often pitched two or three innings to earn his saves, and he says comparing him to current closers such as Trevor Hoffman or Mariano Rivera is like comparing apples to oranges.

TheDoyler23 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I really thought that 2 of the 3 in the Rice, Gossage and Sutter trio would get it. Too bad for them since Ripken and Gwynn are mortal locks and McGwire will still get votes despite his steroid accusations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
