Pastor In Kentucky asked:


Sports writers are so lame. Babe Ruth made more money than the President of the US. The Star ball players of the modern era have always been very well paid.

If teams offered YOU millions of dollars to hit a baseball, you would turn the money down for what reason?

I don’t see any Sports Writer of any big newspaper who writes for free, so why should athletes be expected to throw away big bucks offered to them?
Baseball Writers of America think that their opinions are more important than the average baseball fan.

Baseball Writers control the gate into the Baseball Hall of Fame, this is why Pete Rose is not there. This is also why Mark McGwire is not there. Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds are in jeopardy of not making the Baseball Hall of fame.

Sports writers complain about the high salaries of baseball players. They complained about how much Johnny Bench and Dave Winfield earned. The Sports writers of Cincinatti thought Bench, Rose, Perez, Concepcion, Morgan were all over paid. In the mid to late 70’s they wrote that Reggie Jackson was over paid.

Baseball writers get into baseball games for free. The Newspapers pay for them to travel to the World Series, The All Star games, the Playoffs. They get free coffee, hotdogs, scorecards, all kinds of freebies.

Let Baseball Fans decide who belongs in the Baseball Hall of Fame! Not the know nothing, do nothing, spoiled sports writers of America!

I love baseball, but baseball writers always sound like the kid in your class who got pounded on daily.

“Houston closer Brad Lidge, as well as relievers Brad Qualls and Dan Wheeler, are three names the Red Sox have asked about, according to a baseball source. Right fielder Wily Mo Pena is one player the Sox have said is available. The Astros, who Tuesday hired ex-Sox pitching coach Dave Wallace to serve in the same role in Houston, are intrigued by Pena but it would take more than that to land Lidge”

-Boston Herald

First of all, the Astros have no players by the name of “Brad” Qualls. Get the names right if you are going to write about it. Also, and this goes out to all sports writers, don’t make things up. The Astros deny talking with the Red Sox, which may or may not be true, but unless you know it to be fact, don’t write it. All writers, not only sprots wirters, should make sure what they write is true.

You basically restated what I said. I know his name is Chad Qualls. That’s what is so bad about the article, they don’t get the player’s name right.

Frizzer asked:


Writers can vote for up to 10 players every year, from a pre screened list of candidates, for induction into the HOF, and if 75% of the writers vote for a candidate he is in. They don’t have to say why they did or didn’t vote for a candidate. They might not vote for a player simply because they don’t like him, or because he may have refused an interview years before. Is there a conflict here and is there a better way for induction into the HOF?
