Kaat and Oliva miss shot at the Hall; Ron Santo in
They needed 12 of 16 votes from the Golden Era committee. Kaat came in second with 10 and Oliva had 8 votes. Ron Santo was the only player elected. (Other sources say 15 votes, but the Pioneer Press says "all ballots," which I suspect is wrong.) http://www.twincities.com/twins/ci_19473237

David Ortiz, Hall of Famer(?)
I want to start doing more open thread chats. Today's is a thought exercise in predicting the future. What does 15-year major leaguer David Ortiz--who is now hitting .324/.390/.602 with 14 homers in his age-35 season--have to do to be worthy of enshrinement in Cooperstown, whenever he decides to...
Frazier will get in next year!
Love his attitude, no way he does not get in after how well he handled being snubbed. http://supertao.com/category/the-mind-side-blog/
The (weak) case against Dennis Rodman.
