Next years Hall of Fame

Based on his play on the ballfield, Alomar is more than a HOFer, he's an inner-circle HOFer.
However, there are a lot of dumbshits who get HOF ballots, and Alomar is exactly the kind of guy who pisses them off: no big milestones like 3,000 hits, a relatively short career, an ugly incident that sticks out in many people's memory, and a basic ignorance of the fact that 2nd base is one of the hardest positions to play on the diamond. I mean, <i>Ryne Fucking Sandberg</i> had to wait 3 go-arounds before they let him in, and even then it was only by 6 measly votes.

Alomar will eventually get in, but I would bet that Jeff Kent becomes a victim of these biases.
There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
