Harold Baines to Cooperstown

Not the news I was expecting to wake up to on a Monday morning. The mock outrage is pretty amusing. The guy had almost 3,000 hits and his swing was a work of art. Spare me your crocodile tears for *Joey* Belle, Clemens, and Will Clark. I'll take Baines.

Re: Harold Baines to Cooperstown

I was listening to 680 this morning and they were talking about how Baines fell below 5% of the vote in his second year of eligibility for the hall and taken off the ballot one year so to go from that to getting in is impressive. Still think the Sox had some awesome uniforms back in the day....

Re: Harold Baines to Cooperstown

Yeah I loved those uniforms. I think the somehow much more popular black-and-silver Bo Jackson uniforms ended them.

I liked the multicolored Astro uniforms of that era too.
