2013 Results: Bonds, Clemens, Piazza and Biggio are elected to the Hall of Merit!
(bbtf)
Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Mike Piazza and Craig Biggio have been elected to the Hall of Merit!
The timing for our first year electing 4 candidates could not have worked out better, since class of 2013 is the strongest in terms of electees that we’ve ever had. The top of the 1934 ballot included Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker, Eddie Collins, Pop Lloyd, Smokey Joe Williams and Cristobal Torriente, but only 2 were elected.

< 1 2wait, did you guys miss Maureen Dowd's psychotic 'RG III re Obama' column?
it's a tired right-wing meme, but it's the one case where, 'can you imagine if a righty compared a black athlete to a black President' angle might actually fit:

For crying out loud Howie, I already mentioned her once; if anybody says her name a third time, she's gonna show up in the thread.
I just did. What's the big deal about it? It was just Dowd being her usual free-associating self. It was a silly column, but hardly worth a reaction like Pierce's.
I'm going to pretend that his dad was sports anchor Bob Griffin on one of the Shreveport stations when I was growing up. He also hosted a cartoon show called "Bob & His Buddies," & his schtick was a talking alligator named Orville who lived in his straw hat.
Granted, they don't look a thing alike -- Bob, for starters, is white -- but still.
By the way, RGIII is the nickname that he seems to be OK with; but he does respond positively to Robert as well.
I wish each of you BTF posters the very best of both health and happiness in the coming years.
Enjoy this season in whichever way it most pleases you.
