19 March 2010, 5:36 pm

Alfredo Aceves
Chad Gaudin
Sergio Mitre

Discounted Grandstand Game Dates

The Worst 2010 Hall of Fame Ballots I Found

8 January 2010, 10:46 am

Because I keep a nerdy spreadsheet tracking all the ballots I find, I’m able to look back and be irritated at some of the worst Baseball Hall of Fame ballots instead of forgetting about them. I consider this a positive because it reminds me of whose opinions I should not care about later on in [...]
