12/4 Hall of Fame
My Hall of Fame ballot arrived Friday, and it always prompts some interesting discussions. Just wanted to see how fans feel about some of the candidates. I’ve already checked Andre Dawson (and have every year he’s been on the ballot) so that’s one.
What do you think about Jack Morris? How about Bert Blyleven, Don Mattingly, Mark McGwire, Alan Trammell and Lee Smith?
Here are some of the first-time candidates: Roberto Alomar, Andres Galarraga, Eric Karros, Barry Larkin, Edgar Martinez, Fred McGriff, and Robin Ventura.

June swoon
Derrek Lee leads the Cubs with 39 RBIs heading into July. The last time the Cubs did not have a player with at least 40 RBIs by the end of June was 1989. Ryne Sandberg was the Cubs RBI leader that year at the end of June with 33. He finished the season with 76. Mark Grace led the Cubs in ’89 with 79 RBIs. He and Andre Dawson each had 27 by the end of June. Both were on the disabled list in the first half and missed time. Thanks to Ed Hartig for the info.
On a positive note, the ’89 Cubs won the NL East by six games.
