Uh, by the way, in, uh, Major League Baseball yesterday, uh, only one guy got into the Hall of Fame. That guy was not Don Mattingly. That guy was not Roger Clemens. That guy was not Barry Bonds, but the guy that walked Barry Bonds with the bases loaded to pitch to did get in. Jeff Kent, and I'm, I'm one of these guys like, do I think that Jeff Kent is a Hall of Famer? No, I do not. But he's in the Hall of Fame, so congratulations to Jeff Ken. But at some point, can we please get this right? You can't have the guy that benefited from pitchers walking Barry Bonds with the bases loaded because they'd rather pitch to you, get into the Hall of Fame, and not put Barry Bonds in the Hall of Fame. You cannot keep Roger Clemens and his seven Cy Young Awards out of the Hall of Fame. Now, could you debate Mattingly? Yes. It's a fair debate. Yankee fans feel like 84 to 89, I think of the years I have those right. Five best years of his career. Got an MVP, got a batting title, you know, was not even arguably top three in the sport for a 5-year span. Obviously, the back problems, long term, not a stat, uh, compiler, so it doesn't have the raw numbers to get in. But if you watch baseball in the 80s, there was Tony Gwyn, there was Don Mattingly, there was Kirby Puckett, there was, you know, the guy Andre Dolson, yeah, like, so again, you could argue it. He only got like 20% of the vote. So Don Mattingly sadly is never gonna to get in unless he gets in after he dies and someone feels bad for his family. Sadly, Don Mattingly is never gonna get in. No, I mean that sounds good. That's a cold game. Uh, during Jeff Kit's prime, by the way, he had more they another stat, more, uh, chances for RBIs than anyone else in the sport during that time because of Barry Bonds. And now he's in the hall and like you said, Barry, Barry Bonds will get in at some point when the current riders die. And he, he'll, he'll like, it'll probably be like Pete Rose. Isn't it funny though how like we had like 3 or 4 year period where society got so woke and the only place that didn't really get woke were the Baseball Writers Association of America. They were like, we're not putting a steroid user in the Hall of Fame, no matter what, no matter what, even though I did it for the, I got my job in large part because of those steroids, but I'm against them.
