The cursed hunger for gold. Auri sacra fames.
We are very disappointed that the Hall of Fame has turned down our offer, though we are not completely surprised. We understand and respect the Hall of Fame's position.
Integrity of life is fame's best friend, which nobly, beyond death, shall crown in the end.
Ah, who can tell how hard it is to climb the steep where Fame's proud temple shines afar?
The Hall of Fame's collections are rich and diverse, given baseball's history and role in helping to shape and define American culture, ... Having the Jack Kerouac bobble-head in our collection is important, given he's an American icon who had a deep passion for the game, which he shared in his writing.
Not all to that bright station dar'd to climb;
And happier they their happiness who knew,
Whose tapers yet burn through that night of time
In which suns perish'd; others more sublime,
Struck by the envious wrath of man or god,
Have sunk, extinct in their refulgent prime;
And some yet live, treading the thorny road,
Which leads, through toil and hate, to Fame's serene abode.

OBLIVION, n. The state or condition in which the wicked cease from struggling and the dreary are at rest. Fame's eternal dumping ground.
It's incredible and exciting and one of the most historic feats in the Hall of Fame's history. She's being honored for her groundbreaking efforts. 2006 will always be remembered for the first woman and potentially open the doors for others.
