Playing the Percentages.
from posnanski's sportsonearth

there are no full-blooded ?winners? on this year?s Hall of Fame ballot. That?s obvious. As predicted, nobody on this year?s utterly loaded ballot received the 75% necessary to be elected to the Hall of Fame.
But a look at the results suggests that some won more than others. What I will try to do here is spin forward. We know WHY these guys didn?t get elected to the Hall of Fame. What?s more interesting now is: What happens next?

January 11 in Tigers and mlb history:

1958 - US Representatives Kenneth Keating and Patrick Hillings drop their plan to bring baseball under the nation's antitrust laws.

1971 - 27-year-old Detroit Tigers reliever John Hiller suffers chest pains that doctors will later diagnose as a heart attack. Hiller will miss the entire 1971 season but will make an incredible comeback in 1973, saving a then major league record 38 games.

1973: Major League owners approve one of the game's most controversial rules: the designated hitter. The owners decide to allow American League teams to implement the rule on an experimental three-year basis, but the rule will become a permanent addition to the AL while the National League never adopts it.

1993 - The Rev. Jesse Jackson tells baseball owners that unless a plan to hire more minorities for front-office jobs is in place by April 5th, he will call for selective boycotts.

2003 Detroit trades Mark Redman to Florida for Nate Robertson in a deal involving five players in all.

Problems In A Turned-on World
The pill, capsule, vial and needle have become fixtures of the locker room as athletes increasingly turn to drugs in the hope of improving performances. This trend?one that poses a major threat to U.S. sport even though the Establishment either ignores or hushes up the issue?is explored here in Part I of a series.
