Ryan ChristoffHow can you say Sutter and Gossage didn't get any love when 2 out of every 3 voters voted for Sutter and over half voted for Gossage?
Sutter gets in next year with Jim Rice and it might be the year they finally start appreciating relief pitchers by voting Gossage in as well.
Gossage will likely come up short, but if Gossage and Sutter were inducted together it would not only be poetic justice but also a huge symbolic gesture that the relief pitcher is indeed part of the game.
Sorry Jeff Nelson, it might be a while before the Hall starts recognizing those in middle relief.
"Joe Morgan is probably the only 2B better than Sanberg to ever play the game." That one is worthy of instant induction into the network54 silliest quotes HOF. As the first inductee, it will be the PSA 8 Wagner of the board's HOF. Except untrimmed.
