MVSNYC"What things, advantages, money, notority, etc,... does a former athlete get if he gets elected into the HOF than a guy not in ? How important is it to the older guys to get in befor they're deceased?"
Alan- i'd imagine one could make some more money once elected (show circuit, autographs, apperances, etc...), BUT i think the most important aspect of being inducted into the HOF is the simple fact that you are now immortalized forever, you become a member of a very elite club, the best of the best...there's no monetary value to that...it's priceless.
clemens claims he doesn't care about the HOF...that is pure Bulls**t!
getting the call for entry has got to be one of the most incredible moments of a former player's life...
