Congrats to Rickey Henderson and Jim Rice. It's funny, it's been 20 years since a left fielder has been elected to the hall of fame (Yaz) and this year, two left fielders get into Cooperstown. I personally felt that Rice deserved this from the start, but his standoffish nature with the media made him wait on the sidelines for 15 years. Good for him.
Andre Dawson and Bert Blyleven will have to wait another year, and fell short, but not by much.
I'm not going to weigh in right now on the "closer debate" and the "juicer debate" whose casualties this year are Lee Smith and McGwire, respectively, because I want to focus on the celebration for Henderson and Rice.
Enjoy a happy day.
