Fun on Friday

Here's what bothers me about the voting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America for the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY: How is it that Bert Blyleven gets "better" in his 14th year on the ballot and was finally elected to the Hall on Wednesday? Along the same line, according to the votes he received, Barry Larkin got 15% "better" this year. Seems to me, if a guy's stats are good enough to earn induction, it shouldn't take a number of years to earn your way in.

My son and I had the opportunity to meet UT Basketball player Skylar McBee following a recent game at Thompson-Boling Arena. He posed for a photo with my son (I may post some photos later) while wearing his Carhartt toboggan. Gotta like a guy like that.
