re: Ichiro, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner elected to baseball Hall of Fame

First off, I do not discuss politics on social media. But I will offer the opinion that I don't care about Schilling's politics, he's a no-brainer Hall of Famer and should be in.

The problem with Schilling, IMO, whether it puts him in A-hole territory or not, is that he seems to have not learned one of the cardinal lessons of adulthood: There are times and places where even if you have the right to speak (although people misunderstand the concept of freedom of speech in the Constitution, it simply means the federal government of the U.S. can't put you in jail for what you say, it doesn't mean there won't be other consequences), you really shouldn't if it's extraneous to the matter at hand.

The induction ceremony at Cooperstown is one of those places where it all should be about baseball, mic drop, and I think there's a fear Schilling will go off and share whatever's going through his brain.

CC's post-career activities should have zero to do with getting into the Hall, and that goes for every other player.

Agreed.

Williams is my favorite ball player who ever lived.

Pretty soon mlb hall of fame candidate will have a lifetime average of .240

Fun fact :
Billy Wagner was originally right-handed, but after breaking his arm at a young age he taught himself to throw lefty.
