The Veterans' Committee should let Farnsworth in for being the best brawler in baseball for an entire generation.

Because we've largely sucked. Oates (26) and Ryan (34) are the only retired numbers we have, presently. 7 is surely coming soon. I like saving retired numbers for truly special players.

They should make a special wing for the PED era that starts out small, but tasteful and very nice. Next year it is twice as big but no one says anything.
