Bob [Costas] did not go into details, but many people do — ALL THE TIME. I cannot tell you how many times in my life, much less in the last month, I have received emails that basically say something like: “Willie Mays — now THAT is a Hall of Famer. That is who I have in mind when I think of the Hall of Fame not (Player X) who you wrote about.”
So, that’s my mission here — to create The Willie Mays Hall of Fame.
A great post on the Baseball Hall of Fame from, who else, Joe Posnanski.
