So I see that the Baseball Hall of Fame for some reason has requested the jersey of Eric Bruntlett who turned an unassisted triple play to end the Phillies/Mets game Sunday.
Without ever having been to the Hall of Fame, I think it is now safe to say that they have too much stuff. They just do.
Eric Bruntlett's feat of course was not a difficult baseball play and was a consequence of being in the "right place at the right time". Kind of like being a lottery winner or the 10 million'th person to enter a stadium and we don't usually celebrate those people, other than maybe taking their picture and giving them a handshake.
Do they have the cleats of the shoe that Vince Coleman wore when he got stuck and rolled into the tarp that one game?
Do they have those beer bottles that Joe Charboneau opened up with his eye socket?
Do they have any broken or burned records from Disco Demolition Night?
Where does it end?
If Topps somehow got a hold of that jersey and cut it up, what would the game used jersey card be worth? A couple dollars? Ok, more but still.
If the Hall of Fame moves a Babe Ruth bat, or even Eddie Gaedel's bat, for this jersey, I am not going to be a happy camper. I just won't.
