Who allowed Joe Torre to get advice from Rod Blagojevich?
— hallofverygood.blogspot.com — Didja hear the one about the guy who had it all, but sold his legacy to whoever... would pony up the most bread? No, I’m not talking about former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, I’m talking about former Yankees skipper Joe Torre. It seems like you can't turn on the TV without seeing one of them!

Hall of Very Good: Oh, Canada!
— hallofverygood.blogspot.com — The Hall of Fame announcement has come and gone and deservedly so, kudos have to go out... to Rickey Henderson and Jim Rice. Way to go.

Hall of Very Good: Mark Grace...Hall of Famer or just a good quote?

Hall of Very Good: Remember the "Athlete"?
— hallofverygood.blogspot.com — This past weekend, I stumbled upon the Under Armor All-America High School Football Game.

Hall of Very Good: Is it time for Donnie Baseball?
— hallofverygood.blogspot.com — Like most of the world, I was enamored with Don Mattingly when he hit the scene. I... had his 1984 Donruss rookie card encased in Lucite and thought I was witnessing the second coming. That being said, Iʼm not so sure we werenʼt. So...why can't he get any Hall of Fame support?

Hall of Very Good: Game Over
— hallofverygood.blogspot.com — 13 years, 3 different trials and THIS is what we get…9 to 33 years in prison? What’s... even worse is that O.J. Simpson NOT going to jail for life was EVERYONE’S top story on the same day that Greg Maddux announced he was hanging it up. But somehow...I have a feeling he was alright with that.

Hall of Very Good: Just the Fax, Man...or More from Monty
— hallofverygood.blogspot.com — Really, San Diego…by fax? You relieved (pun intended) the most prolific closer in Major League Baseball history... via FAX?!? This is a guy that, and here comes the shameless plug, former Kansas City Royal Jeff Montgomery told me was “obviously” a Hall of Famer. What else did "Monty" have to say?

Hall of Very Good: Internacional!
— hallofverygood.blogspot.com — So here we are. We’re deep into the second half of the baseball season, in the midst... of the 2008 Olympics and I’ve got next to nothing write about. Or do I?!?

Hall of Very Good: Hooray for Saturday!
— hallofverygood.blogspot.com — A lot of kids growing up get excited for the normal made up holidays like Valentine’s Day... or Halloween.

Well, TECHNICALLY, Christmas was Christmas…but you get the idea. (more) Hall of Very Good: Hooray for Saturday!

Hall of Very Good: All-Star Game Re-cap...kinda
— hallofverygood.blogspot.com — The All-Star break has officially come and gone…did you hear the one about this being the “last... season at Yankee Stadium”? All that aside, I can’t bash the All-Star game. Some of my fondest moments as a lifelong baseball fan have come as a result of the Mid Summer Classic. Suffice it to say…I was ecstatic when I heard about FOX’s super hyped “Red Carpet” special PRIOR to the game. (more) Hall of Very Good: All-Star Game Re-cap...kinda

Hall of Very Good: Sorry Walker...here's my favorite Texas Ranger
— hallofverygood.blogspot.com — By now, we all know that this is the last All-Star game at Yankee Stadium, the Tampa... Bay Rays have no starters and Jason Varitek was invited to the party. Be prepared to hear that ad nauseam. But there's another story we’re likely going to get sick of hearing by this time next week...Josh Hamilton. However, it wasn't that long ago that a DIFFERENT Texas Ranger was making all the headlines. (more) Hall of Very Good: Sorry Walker...here's my favorite ...
