On Sunday the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown opened its doors one more time.
Boston slugger Jim Rice was finally, and most deservingly, inducted. But the must-see tv moment was when Rickey Henderson gave his induction speech.
Rickey is the all-time major league baseball leader in stolen bases with 1406, runs with 2295, and lead-off homers with 81. Ricky was a ten-time all-star and a two-time world series champion.
Rickey also spoke of himself in the third-person...
On Monday news broke that MLB commissioner Bud Selig is seriously considering lifting Pete Rose's lifetime ban from baseball, and making him eligible for the Hall of Fame.
Rose agreed to permanent ineligibility from baseball in 1989, after allegations surfaced that he wagered on Cincinnati Reds games. He was managing the Reds while betting on baseball.
For years he maintained that he was innocent, before finally coming clean in 2004, right around the time he was selling a tell-all book.
Remember Steve Bartman? The guy that went after a foul ball, and then, according to many irrational Cubs fans, cost their team a spot in the 2003 World Series?
Well, ESPN has decided that it would be a great idea to do a documentary about that moment, and the craziness that followed.

To this day I still think the George Brett pinetar ruling was originally correct, and never should have been overturned.

I was at Lindsey Nelson Stadium for the first game of the Vols doubleheader against Vanderbilt on Sunday afternoon.
Tennessee gave up a game tying homer in the final inning. They lost their cool after a couple of calls from the men in blue. They bunted into a double play...
But they still won, thanks to a walk-off homer from Blake Forsythe. Tennessee won the nightcap in walk-off fashion as well. In short, nothing comes easy for these guys.
The Vols are fighting to get into the SEC tournament. If they finish in the top 8, they'll pl
