What about the Goose? Not sure I saw the story. Goose Gossage?
Yup. Rich "Goose" Gossage. Ninth time was the charm...he was the single player elected to Cooperstown this year.
McGuire garnered the same number of votes he got last year. Which wasn't nearly enough. What do you think his fate will be, ultimately? Will he get in?
For McGuire's induction? I don't think so. 2010 he'll 'only' have been eligible for four years (five years ago, if you'd suggested to anyone that he wouldn't make first ballot, they'd have laughed at you). It's gonna take a lot longer than that for the sting of his non-testimony to wear off.
Funny thing is, though -- I really think that if he'd been open before congress, most (not all, but most) of the ripples would have passed under the bridge by now. He'd be getting more that >30% of the vote, anyway.
Anyone who played for 22 years, had some sweet side burns, and is named Goose - deserves respect.....
Heh...that Fu Manchu is the stuff of legend. They'll prolly set up a special display in the Hall just for that.
Do a google search on best sports nicknames, and ESPN came up with a top 10....
The "Goose" was no where to be found.
My only hope is that the name of Goose Gossage was so popular that it didn't qualify as a nickname.
Meh...what's in a name? That, which we call a rose....
in the end it was his arm that got him in. How many people really think of him as Rich (or Rick or Richard or whatever) Gossage. Lists like that are pretty arbitrary, anyway.
Now that I've shoved my foot in it, I prolly oughta go look up the list, huh?

In 100 years, do you think that anyone will remember (or care about) you? Most people throughout history were basically forgotten about not long after they died. But now that we live in a digital age in which massive amounts of information are potentially being produced about (and by) us, does this...

I was considering publishing my novel on here a chapter per hub (because the chapters weight in at 1000-5000 words. Has anyone made any adsense from this?The reason I ask is that I'm probably going to post it anyway, but if there is no possibility of revenue then I will chose to post it without...

What are your thoughts on Divine Justice?There are a group of people who want to blame or praise God for certain natural events that have happened. Many people blamed Katrina on the morality of New Orleans. I am not arguing this particular theology (although I disagree with it) I am now wondering...
