Mimi -

You haven’t done anything to counter the premises I laid out in this post or the one that prededes it on this subject. I was looking for an explanation for the inconsistencies in Mr. Simpson’s logic – which I haven’t gotten, even though I’ve sent a handful of emails directly to him.

All you’ve done is throw insults at people who don’t share your view.

Walt and Richie Rich.
You poor, sad little men….spending your time criticizing men whose shoes you can never hope to fill. What have you done with your lives? Spent them ripping people on blogs?
Now…move on to another person who needs your “straightening-out”. Goodness knows your opinions affect the course of civilization.
Wow.
Pathetic.
Both of you.
And shame on you.

blondieb what did Albert have for lunch?

Yeah your right IR is football DL is baseball.

Brett Farve a over hyped player who selfishly plays through injuries to show how bad ass he is.

Alber Pulous a over hyped player who selfishly plays through injuries to show how bad ass he is.

Both once won a championship. Neither will ever win another!

Pujous couldn’t shine Keith Hernadaz’s jock!

Thanks for playing. Maybe you should stick to the “I buy what ever hype ABC/DISNEY ESPN spoon feeds me” Posts!

Thanks for playing

First of all, the old coot is an idiot.

But there is something to be said for this: There are idiots everywhere, in every line of work. Why hasn’t anyone been a unanimous choice? Because it would require zero goofs and zero idiots out of hundreds of voters, that’s why.

Bottom line: Rickey got in easily, deservedly so. End of story.

BTW: Joe DiMaggio not only didn’t get in unanimously, it took him THREE BALLOTS to get in … just to add a little perspective to that 5.2 percent of the vote Rickey didn’t get.

Dear Mimi:

If you’ll go back and read my original post … I wasn’t criticizing Simpson for not voting for Henderson. I was criticizing him for not offering any explanation for doing so (as well as ignoring Henderson in his original article) and I also lambasted him for a bunch of inconsistencies in his logic voting for TIm Raines but not Rickey) (no vote for Mark McGwire because of suspicion if steroids, yet he voted for Matt Williams after Williams was listed in the Mitchell report for actually having received steroids)

And then, when it came out that he didn’t “just forget” that he was there (see this post) he just brushed it off.

That’s not an “incredibly talented writer” – that’s a no-talent hack. He might have been an award-winning journalist 20 years ago. But not any more.

He is a idiot! He said he voted for 8 that should be elected, he voted for his local favorite MATT WILLIAMS who will NEVER get in the Hall of Fame

enough said they need to take
his vote away

All you idiots who said Corky Simpson would be the reason Rickey Henderson would not make it in the Hall of Fame unanimously……Ha Ha Ha!!!

You are all FOOLS. 20 some odd other sports writers left RH off the ballot.

Too bad. So sad. You should be embarrassed by your ignorant diatribes against an incredibly talented, respected writer.

Oh yeah. You’re too stupid to be embarrassed.

I don’t think he didn’t do his research!
I think he just wanted some attention for his po-dunk little newspaper. It’s still a YES – he should have his credential taken away. Just not due to a lack of research.

You forgot another voting option: “Yes — Simpson voted for Matt Williams”
