"Buck O Neil along with
 
Gil Hodges
Minnie Minoso
Tony Oliva
Jim Kaat
Bud Fowler
also were chosen to the HoF by voters on veterans committees.

Dick Allen, who died last December, fell one vote shy of election.

The six newcomers will be enshrined in Cooperstown, New York, on July 24, 2022, along with any new members elected by the Baseball Writers

Rob Manfred is lying piece of shit.

https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-lockout-fact-checking-commissioner-rob-manfreds-open-letter-to-baseball-fans/

This is certainly not an exhaustive examination of the lies and inaccuracies in Manfred's letter, but the tidiest lockout rationales are addressed.

And they're addressed quite well, too!

Mets hire Showalter.

Old guys as managers are in vogue, which seems like ballast for this hot air balloon era of analytics.

Seems like the perfect hire

Could it be Mets may be entering a luckier stretch?

Big move on Bryant next.

Look out   Mets got their Joey

If Joey ever ends up managing, will the Coras be the first brothers to both manage?!

Hope if Joey manages he can do better than they did! Alex has, so far.
