Any Chance Rickey Can Wear John Olerud’s Batting Helmet On His HOF Plaque?
Can't Stop The Bleeding — OK, I know Henderson has denied the Olerud story, but much like the rest of you, I’m looking forward to his Cooperstown acceptance speech.  Jim Rice’s a tad less so, but on the bright side, we are now spared the annual op/ed attempts at championing or disparaging Rice’s candidacy.

DH Video Select: Rickey on YouTube
Diamond Hoggers — Nice Jamaican style hat Rickey. Rickey is MLB's newest Hall of Famer, and he's here in a home-made video wishing someone happy birthday. Really nothing else out of the ordinary, but we assure you this is one of the only personal video messages you will find on the net of Rickey. Hat Tip: friend of the blog Mo Egger.
