Marty Noble spoke with John Franco who is disappointed he didn’t get more HOF votes.
John seems like a nice guy and as we have discussed previously he is the Best Met of the 1990’s.
However, at no point in any Mets game did I ever once think either (a) “Now there’s a Hall of Famer” or even (b) “Here comes Franco, this game is over.” He was rarely 1-2-3, more of a 1-2-3-4-5 save kinda guy. Mix in a walk and a double to keep us listening to Fran Healy.

I haven’t forgotten about The Worst 50 Mets of All Time nor Make Our Own Old Timers Day. Real Job has required me to actually work at work. It happens.
Tonight I’m just polishing off some existing posts and quite sleepy.
Meanwhile, Sports Police is finally coming together thanks to Chris who has been rocking it out this week. We’re applying this formula to all the local teams – if you like hockey or the Jets there’s plenty up there for you this week. Any big time Knicks fans looking to blog for the fun of it?

I don’t think John Franco is a Hall of Famer either, but I can’t figure out how Lee Smith got 263 votes to Franco’s 27.
