Jeff Cirillo is on the 2013 Hall of Fame ballot!

He only needs 5% of the vote so to stay on the ballot and then we can build some momentum later!

I smell a letter-writing (or now email) campaign!

112 home runs!

Intentionally walked 18 times!

We can do this!

Tony Womack! Tony Womack!

Occupy Cooperstown!

Spread the word! Get the tents!

(Hall of Fame ballots sure are weird)

Jack Morris

When my wife was a teenager, she was driving with a friend in an unfamiliar neighborhood and became lost.

They used the apron of a driveway of a large house to turn around. That house was owned by Jack Morris.

He happened to be outside at the time and told these two young nice ladies to "Get the hell out of here!"

I don't care if Jack Morris gets elected to the Hall of Fame.

(Now I could see if they were driving like a real a big cement truck and cracked the driveway or something but apparently they were just driving a Volvo.)

Wanna drive traffic to your site?

Write about how poor Bert Blyleven's Hall of Fame credentials are.

Then watch the meter spin.

(Not for the thin-skinned though)

Lynn Henning's Hall of Fame ballot

I see that lowly-regarded and logic-challenged Detroit News columnist, Lynn Henning, he of the "get that bum Curtis Granderson out of here already" fame has published his completed Hall of Fame ballot.

Here are his choices:

Roberto Alomar
Bert Blyleven
Andre Dawson
Barry Larkin
Edgar Martinez
Tim Raines
Alan Trammell

Actually I am a little surprised.

Well, heck let's just go with "shocked".

It looks like a respectable ballot.*

I half-expected him to pencil in some votes for some career minor-leaguers.

*If it were me, I think I would trim it down to Alomar, Raines and Martinez but the other choices are defensible.
