 The major league baseball Hall of Fame ballots out. Yes, I saw these are the names that are on the ballot Rick and keel Jason Bay No, Lance Berkman. No, just shout out. Yes for anyone that you're okay. I'm sorry Barry Bonds. Yes Roger Clemens. Yes, Freddie Garcia John Garland no Travis Haffner Roy Halliday That's gonna be tight on the line. It's close. You know, I gotta go. Yes. Yeah Todd Helton Andrew Jones Todd Heldon's a tough one because the numbers say yes, but it was all in Colorado But you know what? It's not his fault where he played He was I'm gonna say no. Wow Andrew Jones Also really good numbers No, Jeff Kent Yes, Benny Agbiani Ted Lily No Derek Lowe. No final year on the ballot Edgar Martinez Well, you know, I feel yes. Yes, and yes, yes McGriff Crime dog. Yeah. Oh Close though, but you got a big home run numbers, isn't it? Yeah, but those that does 493 But 500 doesn't matter. He didn't do Roy's if he had 500 he'd be in that's how silly it is. Yeah Mike Messina Yeah, that's a that's a real that you know what? He's not in this this may sound outlandish. He'll be anky fan I think I think he's a he's it He's a tougher one than Pettit. Like I have no problem saying no to Pettit. Messina I might have to say yes, you say no to Pettit though because of the PD's not because of the performance, right? I don't I don't No, I I don't think he's he's a borderline Hall of Famer with his numbers. No, Messina Pits his entire career in the AL East and yeah, it was a 270 Yeah, 270 games all as you said in the American League he's picked some really big games. Listen, I don't I Wouldn't be shocked if he didn't get in but I think he's closer than Pettit is Darren Oliver Roy Oswald Andy Pettit Juan Pierre Placido Polanco many Ramirez purely on numbers. He's a But you know, he's Mariano Rivera. Oh, yeah, of course Scott Rowland. Don't say no that quickly when you know third baseman I know he's very close to a very very close Curt Schilling forget about his politics whether you like it or not Well, listen, I put him in just because I think he is among the greatest postseason pitchers ever and his numbers in the regular season Well, they're very good. It's kind of like an Eli Manning of baseball Okay, you know where you kind of look at the postseason more than you look at the regular season Gary Sheffield Another guy numbers would say I remember say yeah What and he's never he means he's he's kind of a nutcase admitting that he threw balls away in Milwaukee to get traded But he matured as he got older. I don't know. Is he a whole of famer though? Probably not this no Sammy Sosa. No Miguel Tejada No Omar Viscale, maybe the problem with Omar is that he was always on the outside of The Nomar Alex Jeter, but he was an amazing defender. He was it was a really good hitter, but I don't know I think he's borderline Billy Wagner No, he I know I saw him with the Mads. He had a good career Larry Walker Another another Colorado guy, but he also did well, you know in Montreal, but I don't look at him as all the fame Vernon Wells Kevin Euclis and Michael Young No, nope, and no now here's the big question with this list Is Mariana Rivera going to be unanimous and I Want to see the guy who votes again or the guy our gal that votes against you know There are people that because DiMaggio didn't go in on the first ball. That's not a concern I know it's not their concern But that's some if somebody doesn't vote for him It'll be because I don't put anybody in the first first ballad if DiMaggio What I would say to that those people though Don what if every single voting member decided they were gonna protect that first ballot Sanctity, right? Mm-hmm, and he didn't get any votes. He wouldn't be on about he'd never make the whole thing So who are these people to that's not your job. Is he or not? Griffey should have gotten every vote see ver should have gotten every vote This guy should get every vote. He's the greatest who ever did it You look at it and you say is there anybody better it now There's some people that have problems or closers, right? There are some people that have problems putting guys in in the first ballad There's always the Yankee bias East Coast bias sometimes with guys, but you know what I Can't I couldn't be the guy not vote for him I mean I think he's as dominant in his position as Ruth was to outfielders I mean I really who's even close to this guy and if you say Trevor Hoffman shut your mouth shut your hole Don't give me any numbers this guy shouldn't even be in the same building as Moe There is nobody close to this guy Michael that did it for as long as he did it was his money as he did it Who who could even be in the conversation if you're gonna put? Mariano very in a room and say you can't go in that room unless you're close There's nobody. No, it's nobody close. First of all, how many Hall of Famers? How many closers are in the Hall of Fame Rollie fingers losses shooter and fingers they don't belong in the room But Moe well you so I would tell him would fight you first of all. He's a little older now Doesn't matter. He's so I'll shape if I lost to fight the goose sausage. How great a story is that? Phenomenal, I mean if I the air would be a me if I walked into Madison Square Garden It's center ice right before the game Let me tell you right and I grabbed the microphone and I told people I got a shiner from you from goose sausage Here's the story captivated room Captivated room What event is this you're like doing a live show based on I know they just kept in between period I'm a Times Square just wandering mind of my own business right by where they always put the bleachers by the NYPD Booth there sure and I'm just and and I just grabbed microphone. I said I got it I got a I got a shiner from goose sausage the crowd they would have to get the police Right Listen, I fancy myself a decent storyteller. Very good. I spent a good yarn. Yeah, well a lot of words, but they're good words Wow, let's have any present more than our words what you say
