Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Thursday, September 23, 2010
The jig is up! Collectors around the country have been reading the recent reports on Haulsofshame.com and they are identifying and reporting to our “Tips” line, both public and private sightings of baseball treasures that have been stolen from the National Baseball Library in Cooperstown, New York. While it seems like the Baseball Hall of Fame would much rather sweep the evidence of a growing scandal under a very large rug, new evidence of the thefts is surfacing at a most alarming rate. Its a national disgrace, and Haulsofshame.com is the only media outlet covering the disturbing story of the massive thefts from baseball’s national shrine.

1. Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Griffin (Vlad) Posted: September 23, 2010 at 03:59 PM (#3646872)IIRC he noticed some of the private sales and called somebody at the HOF and asked why he didn't get a chance to bid.
Indeed. Hall of Fame exec director Cliff Kachline helped bring that scandal to public attention, and the HOF board of trustees responded promptly -- they fired Kachline.
As #1 notes, the actual articles are always interesting and informative.
The actual organization and its methods have always verged on the criminal, as a metaphor, and now in fact.
It's very much a classic American institution.
