Breaking: Ichiro, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame..

[Street Knowledge]

O’Neill was absolutely good enough to warrant his number being retired and he was there long enough to deserve it too. His career triple slash in 9 years as a Yankee was .303/.377/.492 in 1254 games. He averaged 184 hits with 39 doubles, 2 triples, 24 homers, & 111 RBI’s per 162 games to go with 4 all star games and a batting title while hitting in the meat of the order on 5 pennant winners and 4 champions. Hell yes he deserves to have 21 retired.


On that note Bernie, Donnie, and Jorge all belong in Cooperstown too. That place isn’t legitimate anyway until it A-Rod, , Barry, McGwire, Sosa, & Clemens get inducted too.

I believe only HOFs should have their numbers retired barring exigent circumstances. I like how the Red Sox do it

It’s not all about saves. There’s WS rings and a K rate that’s almost supernatural with Wagner. Dudes era was ridic in the 90’s, to the point once I saw Billy come out the pen I turned the tv off and went to bed

lowest career opponent batting avg, min 900 IP:

Billy Wagner: .184
Nolan Ryan: .200
Sandy Koufax: .202
Joe Nathan: .203
Francisco Rodríguez: .205

That one vote is why I laugh at baseball and those racist purist. F them. And their fantasy fairy tail of a hall. Congrats to all those inductees. We know Ichiro doesn't care, but it keeps adding to my ambivalence towards any baseball fan that lives under the sand.

fukk the bullshyt put Barry,Roger, and Alex in

 

[Won Won]

On that note Bernie, Donnie, and Jorge all belong in Cooperstown too.

Nah

 

[Walt]

Small sample size!

I don’t even have anything against the dude. It’s just striking how he went from elite of elite to a bum when the playoffs rolled around. He’s like the Kershaw of relievers.

 

[Panther]

These baseball writers are so pretentious it makes me sick

Andruw should be in

 

[FabTrey]

don't forget his godly arm strength



just ridiculous defense

 

[Bigblackted4]

If the Yankees are gonna retire people like petite posada Bernie Paul O’Neil who are not HOF’s than they kinda have to retire CC’s number. Hes going in with a Yankees cap

To me he’s equally a Yankee and Indian/Guardian and his stats are the exact same for both

 

[WesCrook]

I wonder if CC is gonna wear his Hall of Fame cap cocked to the right
