    Steinbrenner did not make the HOF. Pat Gillick does make the HOF.

    I would assume that Steinbrenner will eventually make it, he had a tremendous impact on the sport of baseball. Might take awhile as I'm sure he has as many enemies as friends in Baseball.

    Also Marvin Miller didn't make it. Although I'm not sure why Union heads are even considered but he seems a little bitter.

    HOF

    I'm going to have to ponder that one myself.

    Well...
    The Washington Nationals will now win another five games, because they paid $126 million for Jayson Werth...

    I guess they figure Strasburg will come back from TJ surgery and win 50 games.... this year. They better hope so because they just tied up a lot of their payroll.
