We had plans to go my brother and I but we didn't make it.

He was regretting not taking the 3 1/2 hour drive. "We should have gone" he told me.

They're talking HOF for this guy already? Only because he can command east coast press, apparently. Sorry Boston, I don't think a DH is gonna get in. He's got to get 574 homers* to become legitimate IMO, anyway, and he would have to play 3-4 more seasons, healthy, to do that.

And that strut. They should have fined him for delay of game.

*Killebrew hit 573 and it wasn't until the 4th vote that he got in the HOF, a real injustice there. Harmon never took steroids.
