This is a coup for commissioner Bud Selig. I'm surprised it's as good as it is.
More Quotes from Fay Vincent:
This is a great honor and an historic moment in the history of the Hall of Fame. What a great sadness there is that we didn't do this 30 or 40 years earlier. . . . These people who were candidates were greatly honored by being candidates, I'm sure, but it would have been nicer had we been able to do this 30 or 40 years ago and have so many more alive. So, I'm sorry we're late, but I'm proud that we're doing it.Fay Vincent

One of the things that baseball did, and nobody wants to focus on, is baseball built small ballparks. They made it easy to hit home runs. Look at Houston their left field is a joke. Baseball played to the home run as if it was the only great event in the game.
