Selig and Schuerholz Elected to HOF

[paul]

The search for their cards now begins. So far, I've found a 2013 Topps Allen & Ginter's card showing Selig as commissioner and a team issue 5x7 photo of him with the Brewers. I haven't found anything that I'd consider to be a "card" of Schuerholz yet.

Let's put in a couple more executives and leave the players out. No one goes to the HOF to read the stats of executives. The HOF is getting to be a joke.

Getting?

Many stories have been written about the mess, but like a lot of things this day and age, nothing ever seems to get better, it just keeps getting worse and worse.

As a HOF Auto collector, I had already hedged my bet...

Holy crap Gio, is that a Schuerholz rookie picture? You should get that slabbed!

Selig appears in the 2006 Jewish Major Leaguers set.

This one is a Milwaukee team issue photo of Selig, looks like late 1980's - early 1990's to me.

The charge of Commissioner, since the creation of the position in 1920, is to protect the best interests of the sport. In the wake of the 1919 Black Sox scandal that meant first and foremost ensuring the integrity of the game. The lifetime ban of Pete Rose some 70 years later served as further proof that integrity was all.

Not so during the reign of baseball's first Owner-Commissioner, who turned a blind eye to baseball's biggest scandal while at the same time stuffing his pockets with the proceeds. Protecting baseball's interests now meant its financial interests--the "its" of course referring to ownership.

Selig would not have gotten my vote, and I worry equally that his induction sets the table for Bonds, McGwire, Clemens, and all other cheats--save Rose--to enter. I can only surmise then that Rose's great sin wasn't so much the gambling but the failure to give ownership a cut.
