Oh please. "Now that its clear I won't get in I don't want to be in." He's pathetic and transparent above everything else. bawfuls posted:I bet they don’t remove him from the ballot though Nor should they. That would just be doing him a favor.

"I am a great and wonderful person and all the people who know me think so and I'm addressing a single thing people actual do hate me for but just throwing a bunch of other people in front of the bus and telling you why you should sympathize with me." Its just a narcissist's pathetic speech to his mirror.

Here's my quick and steady rule on the HOF: If you've done something that gets you barred from MLB, you get barred from the HOF. What Pete Rose did got him barred from baseball, so he should be barred from the HOF. MLB didn't ban people for steroids. Even now MLB only bans after three positive tests. And yes Barry Bonds beat his wife, but unless she doesn't want him to get into the HOF or MLB adopts a better domestic violence policy (and let's be clear THEY SHOULD), it's irrelevant. I'm not fighting that he's a lovely person, but his brand of shittiness doesn't get you banned from baseball. EDIT: I wrote "negative tests" because I'm in a mood from other things right now.

I'm overjoyed, because assuming there is a ceremony this year that means that the 2020 inductees get all the time, and y'all bastards have to listen to Hawk Harrelson spend 20 minutes hearing him opine on TWTW.

bawfuls posted:It’s not gonna happen. First of all the ceremony this year will include last year’s inductees Jeter and Walker, since last year’s ceremony didn’t happen. Second, Schilling is the only one in the tracker who’s lost votes since last year, so chances are he just misses it again this year. Yeah I didn't realize we were right up against the deadline, I thought he had more runway for votes.

His angry letter looks like he's saying he has Asperger's, but I wonder if I'm just reading that wrong. I know that Schilling's son Grant was diagnosed with it.

What Pete Rose did got him barred from baseball, so he should be barred from the HOF. MLB didn't ban people for steroids. Even now MLB only bans after three positive tests. I used to feel this way and to an extent still do but more and more I'm coming around to the idea that it's 2021 and being an exceptional rear end in a top hat of any flavor shouldn't be handwaved away. Until people like Schilling (or Bonds or whomever fits the narrative) are told gently caress off, we won't be memorializing you because your character absolutely sucks, then it'll never change. Ty Cobb was a hundred fuckin years ago nearly, how the gently caress has this taken so long for people (myself included) to say no, being a despicable piece of poo poo is not okay Johnny Bravo fucked around with this message at 02:19 on Jan 27, 2021 |

The writers can keep players out but they can't erase history. The home run chase happened, bloody sock happened, 762 happened, Manny being Manny, Sheffield bat waggle, Andruw Jones diving catches, Billy Wagner saves, all of it happened. A lot of the best players from my childhood won't be in the HOF, and I've made peace with that. Who cares what a bunch of sportswriters thinks.

All of this stuff is actually in the museum, too! Like I care about the HoF insofar as I want to see players rewarded for having great careers and it clearly is important to them to get that honor, but the actual hall with the plaques, as I've said many times, is the least interesting part of Cooperstown by a long shot.

Again I beat the drum for my elegant solution to the “great baseball players who were also despicable people” dilemma: induct them after they die! Curt Schilling was an excellent pitcher, who’s play is certainly worthy of induction. But he’s a nazi piece of poo poo who can’t even shut the gently caress up long enough to receive the recognition he so desperately wants. So induct him after he’s dead and can’t enjoy or exploit his HoF status. Roger Clemens may be the greatest pitcher of all time, but he also groomed a child and likely committed statutory rape. So induct him once he’s dead and can no longer bask in the glory and adulation of Hall of Fame membership. The list goes on but you get the idea. bawfuls fucked around with this message at 02:30 on Jan 27, 2021 |

It still feels bad to give lovely people a permanent honor, even in death, unless they also open the "these guys were great ballplayers and great pieces of poo poo" wing and move everyone who belongs there from history into it. An extra plaque under the main plaque to explain why they to keep things uniform.
