Baseball's newest HoFers: Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, Frank Thomas. Craig Biggio is hurting: 74.78 percent! PEDs guys still being punished; bye-bye, Rafael Palmeiro. Not a travesty like last year.

Congrats to Maddux, Glavine and Thomas for making the Hall today. Biggio should have made it also.

Torre and Cox were taken on by Rick Reilly, as well as LaRussa. I am in the camp that they should all be in, as should Bonds, Clemens, and McGwire. But the double standard is interesting.

@Spheniscus: Thanks for link. Olbermann's ideas are radical, thoughtful. Singles out La Russa, ignores "broadcast partner" Torre with A-Rod, Clemens as PEDs boys. As always, KO has food for thought.
