Andre Dawson says Barry Bonds does not deserve to be in the Hall of Fame

Well now that you mention it, Andre....

What, are Jim Rice and Bruce Sutter going to complain to?

Now that Andre Dawson is in the Hall of Fame....

....I guess we don't have to hear about his knees anymore.

The guy has other (pretty neglected) body parts too, you know!

What The Hawk should say to the Cubs

In an almost "too strange to be true" story, the Cubs have advised Andre Dawson that they will retire his number only if he is inducted to the Hall of Fame as a Cub. If he is inducted as an Expo as is expected, then presumably his accomplishments as a Cub are not sufficient to merit retiring his number. Sorry.

You cant make this stuff up.

If I was Andre Dawson, this would be my response:

"I don't care if you retire my number or not.

Wanna know why?

I am in the Hall of Fame.

Read my lips: I. AM. IN. THE. HALL. OF. FAME.

Now go away. I work for the Marlins now by the way.
