The 2018 Baseball Hall of Fame class has been announced!
- Vladimir Guerrero
- Trevor Hoffman
- Chipper Jones
- Jim Thome
My father worked for the Charlotte Knights after he retired from teaching high school. Thome was just coming up thru the farm system.
Man, he could swing a bat.

Why Guerrero didn't make it last year is a mystery to me. And i hope someday the veteran's committee will see it within their collective hearts to select former Red, Dave Concepcion. He defined the way shortstop was played in the astroturf era -made the all star team 9 times, was a 5 time Gold glove winner, was on 2 World Championship teams. His forte was defense but he made himself a pretty decent offensive player, as well.His offensive stats are better than Ozzie Smith's across the board but Smith does have more Gold Glove and All Star appearances.

Yes. Concepcion is a Hall of Famer ... or should be.
He was a key part of the Big Red Machine.

lol I've not cared about baseball for so long, I don't even recognize HOF candidates anymore.
It's liberating!
