Baseball Hall of Fame
I'm on the mailing list for the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Basically, that means I get merchandise catalogs every few months.
The latest catalog arrived in my mailbox recently. On the cover, you see Ryne Sandberg and Wade Boggs, who both will be inducted in a few weeks. This year's class of inductees doesn't interest me very much. Sure, they're both great players who deserve to be in the Hall. But, to me, they're both memorable for silly things. I remember Boggs always eating chicken before games. I remember women going ga-ga for Sandberg's rugged looks.
I love the Hall, and usually try to visit once a year. I'll skip Induction Weekend '05.
