Sports Illustrated's Tom Verducci used the game two loss as a platform to bash David Wells...whatever you think of Wells, the column was pretty poor in my opinion. A friend of mine wrote a column in response I think Sox fans would find interesting. It includes a link to Verducci's column... Wells-Verducci column

Saw this on another board this morning...and it is a really smart piece of work. It was done for Franco's 47th birthday...today...and it links him to the first professional baseball team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings in eight linked teammates. It includes Tug McGraw, Warren Spahn, and Wally Pipp. It also features a picture of the original Red Stocking. All baseball fans should enjoy. Eight Degrees of Julio Franco

I have another one here for you guys...it was mentioned above how many sportswriters Rice ticked off...he was a Hall of Famer at that...but don't you think there would be some merit to making the Veterans Committee (which is basically all living Hall of Famers...including inducted writers and broadcasters) the sole Hall selection committee. It would save us from the BBWAA and their tendency to play favorites (like Kirby Puckett) and doghouse other guys...like Rice and maybe Jack Morris... Read what this guy had to say... Hall of Justice

Boggs was no Dwight Evans, that's for sure...Yaz, Dewey, and of course, the Splendid Splinter, along with my guy Greenwell...are my favorite Sox of all-time...Boggs was a great hitter, but he never cared about anything but his average from all appearances. I can't see him having much credibility with any Sox fan. And the induction ceremonies are Sunday...but I don't know what time they start...

Thanks for all the welcomes guys...the whole cap selection issue was taken under the Hall's control because of two issues if memory serves...Dave Winfield was basically holding a bidding process to see which cap he would have on the Hall plaque...and then supposedly part of Boggs' deal with Tampa centered around an agreement to have him go in with a DRay cap. And the Hall said enough is enough and took away player's choice. And by the way, YDoodle, I do enjoy the Gators, but my id is honor of former All-Star leftfielder Mike "Gator" Greenwell....

Thanks for the welcome. And Yankthis has a point...statistical milestones are ok as part of the measuring stick, but they shouldn't be the whole criteria... If Schilling pitches at a fairly high level for another couple of years, I believe 200+ wins and his postseason work will slide him in.

As Boggs goes into the Hall this weekend, I can't help thinking Jim Rice should have been there first. Rice was a feared a power hitter as there was in the late 70's and early 80's...all the stars of that era seem to get zero respect. And do Red Sox fans think Curt Schilling will someday gain a ticket to Cooperstown? Jim Rice link A pitch for Cooperstown
