Chris,

Did any of the guys you named ever go so far as to hop in their vehicle to physically chase down trick-or-treaters who came and egged their house as a prank on Halloween, and then hit one of the kids with their Ford Explorer? Or how about actually throwing a ball into the stands and hitting a fan who was heckling them? Or what about stalking and harassing a former girlfriend and getting locked up for 90 days as a result. Oh, and then did any of them ever go out and get super drunk, get arrested for an extreme DUI, and as part of the festivities also expose themselves to adults and children so they tacked on an indecent exposure charge as well? Belle did all of these!

Albert/Joey is a very complicated and troubled individual. Being unfriendly to sportswriters and the media is likely the least of his issues in seeking selection to the HOF. Throw in the fact he cheated and used a corked bat to unfairly boost his hitting prowess, along the same lines as many of the PED users, and it makes sense why he only lasted for two HOF ballots.

Supposedly Williams aimed foul balls towards a heckler in the stands at least once.

If you can intentionally hit a heckler with a batted ball you are a HOF'er.

i kinda remember the old TWIB...this week in baseball...the intro.

Or maybe it was the ending?

Wasn't there depicted a play where Dave PArker took a carom off the rt field wall and then proceeded to throw the ball on a line to home to nab the runner out????

Guy must have blew thru a stop sign. Base coaches learned their lesson early on. The more impressive to me were the "display" throws to third. All lasers, on line, and able to be cut off. Probably prevented more runs than anything else. For years.

Having watched his whole career I would say if Jim Rice is in then Parker should be in! Bringing up the drug trials,I would say Rock Raines never slid legs first for a reason
