The Hawk Goes To Cooperstown

I'll never forget the Summer of '87 when he hit 49. Epi, I'm sure you remember that year too. I think that was also the year that Eric Show nearly killed him with the pitch to the face.

Congrats, Andre!

Was sure Alomar was getting in.

Was sure Alomar was getting in.

Next year, he and Bert Blyleven for sure.

Wish Blyleven got in. Alomar spitting in the face of an umpire is going to make him wait for a while. Larkin was borderline and no way a DH belongs in the HOF

I think not being a first balloter was his punishment.

Blyleven definately needs to go in. I remember long ago going to see him pitch against the Angels. He was spinning up nasty curve balls and mowing them down.

I sure do Jake.

I remember Sutcliffe throwing haymakers and Hawk waiting until the dust settled to go after Show, who I think is wormfood now.

Anyway, I'm happy for Hawk, the details about how he signed his first contract with the Cubs are the stuff of legend.

Loved that guy as a player.

thought this thread was about me!

I'm sad now
