Couldn't be happier for the guy; congratulations, Baggy!! I'd be remiss if I didn't also doff my cap to @Hey Now! as well, excellent work these past few years! Great time to be an Astros fan
Irks me that some media members and voters aren't focusing on Bagwell's numbers, but rather just the "eh, I guess we'll letting in PED users in now"
Heyman threw a small hissy fit in the immediate aftermath about Vlad and Hoffman not getting in. God, don't know which makes me happier: Bagwell being in or my no longer having to care a lick about Jon Heyman.
Am very happy Bags finally gets in, but the thought that he is a no brainer 1st ballot HOFer that required a serious fan campaign to get him in near the end of his eligibilty will forever piss me off. Oh, and Pudge is a ****ing first ballot HOFer now? There were no whispers surrounding him, huh?
This is a bittersweet day for me. Been waiting for this day for a good number of years, and I wanted to share it with my dad. Unfortunately my dad passed away three months ago. HeyNow....can't wait to have a drink with you and to say THANK YOU in person!!! Congrats Baggy!!!!
I watched the stream online from about 4:30 until they cut me off at 6. I think they mentioned Bagwell about 3 times. The biggest story wasn't remotely the inductees but the people who didn't get in. It also bothers me that he's continually lumped in with alleged steroid users when his name has never ever been on any list. Some of these guys have legitimately been called out on various reports. He has not. But he's in and you can't take that away.
way to go Bagwell! Can we begin a campaign to build a stadium sized statue of Bagwell cut out of a gigantum rock that overlooks what used to be Tal's hill.
I mean this in the nicest possible way, but you should really tell Jon Heyman to go **** himself 8ways from sunday.
