From the short snippet from the interview that got sent to ESPN, it looked to be a very good interview. When Barry Bonds caught wind of this, he obviously didn't have many kind words for the Syracuse ...

That's What Friends Are For
I'm late to this party -- Deadspin already picked it up -- but I can't resist. FJM Legend Woody Paige wrote an article about his HOF vote. This should give you doubters out there a lot of confidence in the sanctity of the HOF voting system. I'm sitting here, looking out the window and pondering the snow, the sun, the creek, the peak and the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot. [...] Do I vote for ...

 The Baseball Hall of Fame and my identity as a Red Sox fan
The Baseball Hall of Fame and my identity as a Red Sox fan
You visit the Hall of Fame as a baseball fan, but you can’t be a real a fan without a rooting interest.
