I agree with the first poster. I'd be embarrassed if I were he. Just my opinion of course.

A buddy/neighbor of mine is a very close friend of Harold Baines and was invited by him to attend the induction ceremony. There was no mention of embarrassment.

Harold Baines was an above average ball player who played for two decades. He amassed numbers most professional players never get close to. He was humble and solid throughout his career and a darn good hitter. He was pleasure to watch and root for. Is he a hof'er? I agree with the majority, not quite. But he certainly has nothing to be embarrassed about. I posted earlier that the hof is becoming watered down and sad. But you know what? The more I think about it, maybe good guys like Baines should be getting in instead of today's greedy, ungrateful, pay me now, .240 hitting bazillionaires who only care how far their last homerun went. Consistency, humility, production, and playing the game right should count for something. Wishful thinking, I know...
