The Baseball
Hall of Fame announced two new members yesterday. Ken Griffey Jr. and Mike Piazza.
Griffey will wear a Mariners cap, and Piazza, a Mets cap. He will be only the
second Met Tom Seaver being the first. Griffey Jr. will be the first Mariner to
have a cap on a plaque in Cooperstown. He is also now the highest vote 99.3
appearing on 437 of the 440 ballots. Jeff Bagwell had 71.6% followed by Tim
Raines at 69.8% and Hoffman at 67.3%. So two good players this year and I was
hoping for Raines maybe next year?
this weekend starts the football playoffs and all of the games should be good. i think the vikings and seahawks will be close now because of the weather and that will make both teams a little more even, though the hawks have a little edge because of experience. i also think both the chiefs and the packers have a chance to win on the road, but as a packer fan would not be surprised if they lost like they did in 72 to the redskins in washington. the difference is scott hunter and jerry tage are not the quarterbacks rodgers is, so anything can happen.
ReplyDeletethe bengals and steelers also play in what should be a great game and very physical. these two teams always play each other tough so i am hopping for a good close game maybe even ot, i would be happy for that. who can remember the last time the bengals one a playoff game?
