I figured Rice would make it. I'm only sorry that another name in his last year on the ballot, Tommy John remained stuck in the 30% bracket. Momentum has built up for Bert Blyleven over the last few years but TJ IMO is a more worthy candidate.
MLB Network scored points in its first ever live breaking news story on baseball by covering the announcement.
Bert Blyleven is one of those pitchers who keeps getting caught in that, "Is it longevity, or quality" category.
When I was a kid and watched the guy pitch I never looked at him as a Steve Carlton or Tom Seaver.. in other words, a "dominant" pitcher in his era.
Others may see it differently, this is just my opinion.
I don't think Don Sutton is a Hall of Famer, but he made it in.
And the same thing could be said about Gaylord Perry, who obviously doctored the baseball during his long career and made it to the Hall after sticking around (pun intended) all those years with different teams to tack on the career wins even when he was old and way out of shape.
Baseball fans can debate these things over and over endlessly, and it's fun, but the bottom line is we don't have the vote here.

Eric,
Do you have or have you seen a DVD called Yankee Stadium: Baseball's Cathedral?
I am trying to see if it's still around in circulation and if it's any good.
