If I see him around here in Tucson...
… I will give a good kick in the shin and say, “Rickey says thanks a lot”.

that is harsh
but I find it acceptable. Sometimes you just have to do harsh things

Damn.
Even in the system I was trying to push a few weeks ago, Henderson would’ve been recognized by every sportswriter. And yes, I realize that Tommy John is less famous than Henderson, now. I have no clue WTF I was thinking.

and
he didn’t vote McGwire either, which is even more WTF.
Ah, I see people didn't look at his actual ballot
It’s a Who’s Who of “debatable” HoFers (BertB, Rice, Dawson, Raines, etc.), a homer (Williams, for the 2001 D’backs), and Alan Trammel.
And the reason Ricky, for one, is excluded, “Well, you can only vote for ten.”
Not even those of us who would argue for The Flyball Dutchman or the REAL 1975 MVP would pretend there would be a reason to vote for them over “not Branch” Rickey.
He only voted for 8 though. Bert and Raines aren’t really debatable either, they should be in.
