Maddux, Glavine and Thomas to Baseball's Hall of Fame.
Great news for Maddux, Glavine and Thomas.
I lived in Chicago during the Frank "Big Hurt" Thomas era. I was in an executive suite sky box at a Whitesox game next to the pressbox and a foul ball goes sailing into the press box. A minute later, a beat writer comes into our sky box and gives my wife(holding my 18 month old son) this ball and says: "Tell your kid this ball was hit by a first ballot Hall of Famer." In a field of steroid pumped cheaters, he put up incredible numbers and consistently(and gracefully) produced in the shadows of all the cheaters' nonsensical fanfare. Vindication, indeed.
