Afternoon Baseball

Common-sense ruminations on baseball and culture.


In my serious discussion of who belongs from this year's ballot, I haven't covered Lee Smith, Bruce Sutter or Alan Trammell. I saw some of Smith, mostly when he was breaking career save records. I saw none of Sutter, but his stats are dynamite and those who saw him continually tout his importance in the rise of the modern closer. I only saw Trammell near the end of his career, but as someone who always thought Cal Ripken Jr. was overrated, Trammell is an appealing alternative. Plus, he's a one-team guy for an original team, which is also enticing.
I'll get those reviews up before they actually announce the results, I promise.
