I'm almost certainly a Posey vote.

OK, no need for the hedge.
I'm a Posey vote.

In 2005, ESPN polled players for their most hated. #1 was AJ, #2 was Schilling. There was no secret of who is.
Minoso for sure
12:13
I'm on the Posey wagon and Mauer
Harmon Ripkowski
12:13
Minoso YES!
AvatarAlex Sonty
12:13
It's borderline racial ignorance to not have Minoso in

Without Castro's big hit in Boston, the Astros might not be playing tonight.

Not racist per se, just ignorant
AvatarDan Szymborski

There was an SI poll around that time that had 10% picking Babe Ruth as the greatest living player
I still don't get why Minoso isn't in
Harmon Ripkowski

He's possibly up this year with the Golden Age commitee, right?  And Allen and Oliva (never really understood Wills really strong advocacy...)

"ignorance" is kind

I think the Hall of Fame lost an excuse for any snub anywhere when they indicted BOWIE FREAKING KUHN

I didn't realize the HoF could issue indictments. ;-)

He was my best friend's wedding. His dad had a boat next to his at the harbor

The rest of the Series will almost assuredly feature better games than tonight's,
AvatarAlex Sonty
12:17
I asked to see the ring on his hand and he just handed it to me
Quarantino Martinez

What a photo!
Jeremy
12:17
Wow Alex!

How did you resist hanging out with him ALL THE TIME?

We talked a solid half hour. He smoked a cigar outside and I just chain smoked with him. This was July 2012.

I'm not usually one to complain about long games, but given how little happened in this game, it's insane it took over four hours to play.

Careers are made of seasons and for some post seasons . with no post season appearances for Posey (assume) is he HOF material?  Trout HOF 100%..  might not ever see the post season again

You guys made a not-too-exciting game more fun and hopefully we did the same for you!
