Why stop now? For years, whenever it came to an All-Star ballot, they championed the likes of Darin or Kenny or Grady or anybody in a non-Eastern Time Zone. Today, they added cream pie to the face: Bernie Williams
received 55 Hall of Fame votes, about one-third of the total for the immortal Fred McGriff (137).Bernie barely escaped the 5 percent killshot, a threshhold that cut from future voting the likes of Jeremy Burnitz and Tim Salmon.
I said this before: Someday, 10 Lindsay Lohans from now, people will look back at Joe Torre's Yankee teams, see four World Championships in five years, and wonder WTF? They will look at that wall in Cooperstown, see only Jeet and Mo, and conclude that all those World Series rings just happened on their own - like random molecules in a collider.
If Torre's Yankees played in Cinncinati, they would built an extra wing by now.
