What a fooking moron. But DJ has the 2nd highest percentage of votes behind only Rivera. In other news Larry Walker goes in too. From the vet committee (announced last month) Ted Simmons and Marvin Miller go in also. In real good news Clemens and Bonds got 61% and 60.7%, respectively. Sorry guys. Schilling came close with 70% . Been following the horns since the Coliseum had a Roman playing there.

But it's like once a team wins a Superbowl, that's not enough, they want another. I thought it would have been great for both of them to have been unanimous but at least they got 821 of 822 votes. The two most important pieces from that great Yankee team got 99.87% of the votes combined. Not too shabby. But you're correct...1 putz looking for a moment in the sun. Larry Walker? 6 of his 16 years he missed at least 20% of the season. And in 6 of the other 10, he didn't play 140 games. I think I heard he has the lowest number of hits for any HOF rightfielder (although he also played first base). Plus he played in Colorado, where everybody does better than anywhere else......except for DJ LeMahieu!!!! Been following the horns since the Coliseum had a Roman playing there.
