Yes, Tim McCarver is being inducted as a broadcaster. Turn down the sound when they’re discussing him, if it will help.

MLB should mandate all catchers grow mullets.

MANDATE!!!!

Awesome.

That is gonna suck for them.

I wouldn’t mind hearing Gammons, Kenny, etc rip the BBWAA apart for a few hours. Hell, if no one gets voted in, the Harold Reynolds meltdown alone will be worth the price of admission.

Seriously, the more daylight that gets shined on the BBWAA’s horrible voting system, the better.

Lank had no choice. Anyone that knocks Darren Daulton on his a$$ thoroughly deserves special recognition, not death threats (this concludes my Philly’s Trolling for the day, thank you).

PS: Ray Lankford for the HOF, baby!

All to handle the induction of what will likely be one person, Barry Larkin. ”

You know what…I’m fine with that. I think being inducted into the hall of fame makes you worthy of 3 hours of straight airtime in the offseason. And I’m sure Reds fans will love to watch it.

It’s January 3rd.

As long as Amsinger hosts it, I’ll stay tuned. That guys’s great.
