HOF: Minutes away

The National Baseball Hall of Fame and the Baseball Writers Association of America will announce the latest Hall of Fame inductees today at 2 p.m. (EST) -- if there are any. Roberto Alomar heads the list of possible candidates that need to have been named on 75 percent of the BBWAA ballots that were distributed in November.

For the record, I am an eligible Hall of Fame voter, but am prohibited by the newspaper from voting in the Hall of Fame election or for the major baseball awards.

If I could have, I would have checked several names on the ballot, but am pulling hardest for Alomar and Bert Blyleven.

Pete,

Why does The Sun prohibit you from voting?

Roberto Alomar, Mark McGwire and Tim Raines.

No Alomar, what a joke. Some of these writers need a kick upside the head.

About Peter Schmuck

Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.
