Well Deserved

That Cal Ripken was elected to the Hall of Fame today was not exactly a shock; we made reservations for Cooperstown months ago. However, I am stunned, amazed and disturbed that eight people did not vote for him (and 13 didn't vote for the much deserving Tony Gwynn, either).

Thankfully, most of them are not like Chicago gloryhound sportswriter Paul Ladewski, who was out to get his 15 minutes of fame for submitting a blank ballot. And has gone on and on and on about how righteous he is about it.

At least Mark McGwire only got 23.5 % of the vote...
