I have lost interested in who makes the baseball  museum’s Hall of Fame – after all it doesn’t include the guy with both home run records or the guy who won 350 games at the turn of this century, or the guy who saved baseball, or the guy with the most hits…so I am not even sure what we’re doing…..

…but this set me off

Oh where to start?  Let’s start here

“….whose pristing glovework at third base set the modern standard for defensive brilliance….”

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to Keith Hernandez.

Keith Hernandez, two time World Series winner.  Co-MVP.

11 consecutive Gold Gloves.  (Rolen won 8).   Keith Hernandez showed us fans things at first base that we didn’t even know first basemen could do.  Things that hadn’t occurred to us.  Until then it was a position played by a big immobile person who could maybe catch a ball but we wanted him to bat.

.296 BA in 17 seasons (Rolen hit ,281 in 17 seasons).  2182 hits (Rolen had 2077)

Did you ever once watch Scott Rolen play and think “Now there’s one of the all time greats”

Did anyone mention Rolen’s defense until yesterday?

Can you tell the history of baseball without mentioning Rolen?

If Rolen is in, I don’t see how or why Keith Hernandez isn’t.

The Post is suggesting Keith Raad is the front-runner to replace Wayne on the Mets radio booth.

That’s pretty cool because it’s someone who HAS DONE THE WORK and is FROM WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION and I think IS NOT THE SON OF SOMEONE FAMOUS.   Like a good old fashioned merit hire.  Plus he calls a good game.

Of course radio is dead to me because of the WOR wah-wah noise making the games unlistenable, and then the 4 seasons I begged the MLB App to fix the EXTREMELY LOUD COMMERCIALS but neither WOR nor MLBAM cared about either, so I got out of the habit of listening to games and it turned out I didn’t miss it AT ALL.   But hey you reap what you sow.  Great job as always baseball.

Congrats Keith.  Would you mind changing your first name? This could get very confusing.

I spotted this one out in the wild today. I wonder what the backstory is.

Maybe this fan is just still upset that the Six Padres Fans ran the Army out of the building (although to be fair, it was cold, and they had to work the next day, and anyway the buzz was off after the Braves won the division but hey they are USUALLY loyal to the last out, just not in elimination playoff games.  That’s weird.)

Stylish! I particularly think the Freedom Tower buttcrack is well thought out.

Not awful.   I still want orange jerseys!
