Hall of Fame.. Call Me Maybe!!

Bob Dutton of The Kansas City Star, wrote this in reference to these first-time on the ballot superstars of MLB (Bonds, Clemens, and Sosa):
"I plan to vote for all three. I understand the steroid/PED questions surrounding each one, and I've wrestled with the implications and my view is these guys played and posted Hall-of-Fame-type numbers against the competition of their time. That will be my sole yardstick. If Major League Baseball took no action against a player during his career for alleged or suspected steroid/PED use, I'm not going to do so in assessing their career for the Hall of Fame," he said.
I agree totally!! Btw.. other first-timers are Piazza, Shilling, and Biggio. Let's not forget deserved holdovers Mark McGwire, Raphael Palmeiro, Jack Morris, Dale Murphy, and Jeff Bagwell!!

Eric Church's Song.. "Springsteen"

When Bruce Springsteen's assistant and road manager Wayne LeBeaux attended Church's concert on August 19, 2012 in Gilford, New Hampshie, he bought with him a gift from The Boss. "(LeBaux) came on the bus and was telling me this story," Church recalled to Billboard magazine. "As they were leaving the Fenway show, (Springsteen) said, 'Wayne, what are you doing this weekend?' 'I'm going to see Eric Church.' "No kidding,' and (Springsteen) took out a set list and wrote me a great note, filled up the whole back of the set list talking about how he was a fan of the song, how his family was a fan of the song. He signed it and said 'I hope we cross paths somewhere' and told (LeBeaux), 'Make sure you deliver this to Eric.'" "It's a pretty incredible note," continued Church. "It's the first time I've officially heard from him. I had heard he was a fan of the song, but it's the first time I officially heard. It means the world to me - and the set list is three hours and 37 minutes. That impressed me, too."
