Interesting article. Not for the original content so much, but for the fodder attached.

In it he refers to four certain "future HoF" including Barry Bonds. But his last paragraph in the story is;

"As for that former Cardinals first baseman and my Hall of Fame vote, Mark McGwire belongs in Cooperstown about as much as I do."

I'm not sure how he justifies the hypocritical stance. Doesn't seem to jive with me.

His next to last paragraph was also somewhat interesting;

"Unlike Derek Jeter, who took the high road after his MVP defeat, Albert Pujols questioned Ryan Howard getting the NL award after the Phillies failed to make the playoffs. Besides the fact that Pujols should show better sportsmanship, I'd like to point one thing out: Yo Albert, Howard's Phillies had two more wins than your Cardinals."

I hadn't read where Pujols had said anything. I guess I missed it. The press seem to have Pujols in their sites after this last post-season. Hopefully this fades away as he returns to his old self.
