Buehrle>Wood Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 GOAT Sox player. Not even close really. Raines got 46.1. Durham got 0 votes. Also mlb just said Thomas is the first player in...then my tv cutoff. What did they say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Of course Gammons uses this as a platform for Schilling to get in. Thomas going to be interviewed on mlbn soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tears started welling in my eyes. I wish like hell athletes didn't have to age. I concur, really is cool to think...I remember him being drafted and playing in County Stadium to make his debut. Wonder who inductes him...... Thomas ana LaRussa bring back some odd emotions in regard to the White Sox recent history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They play a video and people talk, but nobody is there in person to introduce him. Selig reads the plaques, and Frank gives a speech.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 This Maddux/Glavine lovefest is overshadowing anyone talking about Frank. BOOOOOO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Palmeiro fell off the ballot. Larry Walker got fewer votes than Mark McGwire, which surprises me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 QUOTE (Jake @ Jan 8, 2014 -> 02:19 PM) I've heard almost no discussion of Thomas on ESPN I've been watching MLB Network for the past 2 hours, and it's been almost exclusively about Maddux and Glavine playing together, and John Smoltz has been in studio discussing it all. Now, since the announcement, they've just talked about other pitching duos in the Hall, and right now Maddux and Glavine are both being interviewed, with John Smoltz there too. Poor Frank, no one outside Chicago seems to give a s***. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
