Bob Saget sings the National Anthem before a White Sox game.
Bob Saget died yesterday at the age of 65. Today I saw a video on You Tube of him singing the National Anthem at a Wgite Sox game almost 10 years ago, He did an admirable job and I thoought I'd play it hers since I am all things White Sox.
My sympathy to his family, friends and fans.

Oldest Living Baseball Players Cup of Coffee Edition
George Elder the oldest living baseball player
Elder played 41 games for the St. Louis Browns in 1949
Though meager this greatly surpasses the 16 living players with 10 or less games
Yesterday I saw the Kurt Warner biopic, American Underdog. At the beginning of the film Warner (portrayed by Chuck star Zachary Levi) voices over how common the dream to play in the NFL is and how staggeringly difficult it is to achieve. He also mentions that the majority of players who do make it only last a season or two. The same of course could be said about any professional sport. For me it was baseball and I knew by little league that I would never played for my beloved Cubbies or White Sox.
This dream became a reality for every major league baseball player even if it was for just a handful of games. Of the current list of the oldest living players , 16 of them only played for the proverbial cup of coffee (10 or less appearances).

Nolan Ryan vs. The White Sox You win some and you lose some
If you mention Nolan Ryan and the Chicago White Sox many people conjure an image of Arlington Texas August 4 , 1993. As depicted in the video below White Sox 3rd baseman
and future manager Robin Ventura took exception to being beaned by Ryan to start the inning rushed the mound and preceded to get pounded by Ryan.
I originally started this post a few months ago. Until that day, I never saw footage of this incident. I lived in Russian from December 1992 to November 1994 and even though I heard about the altercation had not seen the footage until now. The melee was near the end of a storied career by Nolan Ryan.
The Hall of Famer threw a record 7 no hitters from May 15, 1973 to May 1, 1991. He also took 5 other potential no hitters into the 9th inning. The first of these disappointments came against the White Sox on 8/7/1974 when Ryan was with the Angels.
Watching the last inning of tthat game was very nostalgic for me. The 1972-1974 Dick Allen era White Sox represent the beginning of my almost 50 year obsession with the White Sox. Listening to Harry Caray call the action years before he headed over to the north side and watching the likes of Allen, Jorge Orta, Ken Henderson and Bill Melton harkened me back to those early days.
v
This game features 3 future hall of famers in prominent roles. Frank Robinson homered in the 2nd to give the Angels a 1 run lead. Jim Kaat pitched a 9 inning gem scattering 6 hits and only allowing 1 run on the Robinson smash. Through 8 innings Ryan was the star of the show until the 9th inning when should be hall of famer Dick Allen broke the no hitter by running flat out on a check swing. Click here to read a great account of the game along with a historical perspective of the time in which it was played. Perhaps

Minoso, Kaat, Hodges and Oliva make Hall. Dick Allen snubbed again.
On Sunday, December 5th of this year. The Golden Days Era Committee voted on the 10 candidates up for the Hall of Fame. Before they met I wrote my analysis here. We had a busy day on Sunday celebrating my Daughter's 16th birthday a day early and picking out and decorating our Christmas Trees. It wasn't until my daughter's actual birthday the next day, that I saw the results of the voting. The Committee voted to put Minnie Minoso, Jim Kaat, Gil Hodges and Tony Oliva in the Hall. In my opinion they are all worthy of induction. I am especially happy about Minoso and Kaat's election. also the look on my Dad's face when he heard that Gil Hodges, who hit a home run at the first MLB game he ever attended was one of the biggest thrills of my life.
However as much joy as I feel about who the committee did include pales in comparison to the misery I feel about the exclusion of Dick Allen who for the 2nd time missed the HOF by 1 vote, Allen was my first White Sox hero and in my opinion more deserving than any of the aforementioned 4 of enshrinement.
Some might say that I'm not objective, as I've already declared that He was my hero. The truth is he was my hero over 50 years ago and for years I accepted the story that he had not played long enough and was not a high character guy as legitimate reasons for him not being in Cooperstown.
Over the past 10 years as I have learned more about the racism he encountered in Philadelphia from the fans and the Press and as the advanced stats that were not available until a few decades ago that have validated his career as one of the best players of his generation have made me realize that my first White Sox hero is probably the best baseball player not in the Hall of Fame. (
Here is one of many fine articles that articulate why he should be in the Hall.)
I guess it is possible to be deeply disappointed and delighted at the same time. I am delighted that Minnie Minoso long career has finally been validated, and at the same time, I am deeply disappointed that Dick Allen's family could not celebrate along with Minoso's. I am also hopeful that in 5 years time when the committee meets again that Dick Allen's HOF caliber career will finally be recognized.
Jim Kaat HOF class of 2022
Minnie Minoso HOF class of 2022
Gil Hodges HOF class of 2022
Tony Oliva HOF Class of 2022

Golden Days Era Ballot
On January 25, 2022 the attention of the baseball loving public turns once again to Cooperstown, New York for the announcement of those who will be inducted into the 2022 class of Baseball's Hall of Fame
Each year the BBWAA (Base Ball Writer's Association of America) is tasked to pick among the most elite of the previous generation of ballplayers who will be placed with the rest of the legends of the sport.
This process now can take approximately 15 years as players are placed on the writer's ballot 5 years after retiring from the game and players are allowed to be on the ballot up to 10 years while trying to receive the 75% of the sportswriters votes needed to be elected to the hall.
This is not the only avenue available for players to be enshrined into Cooperstown. There is a path for players not elected by the BBWAA as well as managers, umpires and executives to be included into the HOF. This path formerly called the veteran's committee now has 4 individual committees based on the era that the individuals were involved in the sport: The Today's Game Committee (1988 to Present) , Modern Baseball Committee (1970-1987), The Golden Days Era Committee (1950 to 1969) and the Early Baseball Era Committee (1871-1949).
At least one of the committees meets each year at the annual Baseball Winter Meetings . The Today's Game and Modern Baseball Committees meet twice every 5 years. The Golden Days Era meets once every 5 years while the Early Baseball group meets once every 10 years. On December 5th of this year the Golden Day's Era Committee and the Early Baseball era Committee (each comprised of 16 members)will both vote on 10 people to be considered for Cooperstown. Any one receiving 75% of the vote or more will be among those announced in the Hall of Fame on 1/25/2020 and inducted on Sunday, July 24th 2022.
The remainder of this article is about the Golden Era Ballot.
These are the 9 former players and 1 former manager who are under consideration on the Golden Era Ballot
Dick Allen Years Played: 1963-1977 Teams: Philadelphia Phillies , Chicago White Sox , LA Dodgers, St. Louis Cardinals, and Oakland Athletics
Allen was the 1964 NL Rookie of the Year when playing for the Phillies and the 1972 AL MVP for the White Sox as well as a 7 time all star. Allen has been considered by the committee on 3 past occasions missing enshrinement by 1 vote in 2015. Dick Allen passed away on December 7, 2020 at the age of 78.
Ken Boyer Years Played: 1955-1969 Teams: St. Louis Cardinals, LA Dodgers, NY Mets, and Chicago White Sox.
While Dick Allen was earing his NL Rookie of the Year award in Philly, Boyer was the NL MVP for the 1964 World Champion Cardinals. He was also an 11 time all star with 5 gold gloves at third base. Boyer has also been considered by the committee on 3 past occasions. Ken Boyer died on September 7. 1982 at the age of 51.
Gil Hodges Years Played:1943 - 1963 Teams: Brooklyn & LA Dodgers and New York Mets.
Hodges was an 8 time all star with 3 gold gloves, He played for the World Series Champion 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers and 1959 WS Champ LA Dodgers. He managed the 1969 Mets so he has caused a little misery to both Chicago teams over the years. Hodges has been considered by 4 previous veteran's committees, the most recent being in 2015. Gil Hodges only lived to the age of 47 dying on April 2, 1972.
Fun Fact: Gil Hodges homered in the first baseball game my Dad ever saw on 6/28/1953 in County Stadium in Milwaukee. Fellow Golden Era nominee Dick Allen homered in the first White Sox game I ever went to but I think I had been to a few Cubs games before that.
Jim Kaat Years Played 1959-1983 Teams Washington Senators and Minnesota Twins (same franchise), Philadelphia Phillies, St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees.
Kaat is a 3 time 20 game winner (twice in a row with my beloved White Sox), a 3 time all star and owner of a whopping 16 consecutive gold glove awards. Kaat pitched in the 1965 World Series for the Twins as they lost to the Dodgers and in 1982 pitched in the World Series as his Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers. Kaat has been considered on 3 previous occasions missing enshrinement by only 2 votes in 2015. Jim Kaat is one of 3 living former players on the ballot and turned 83 earlier this month.
Roger Maris Years Played 1957-1968 Teams New York Yankees, Cleveland Indians. St. Louis Cardinals, and Kansas City Athletics.
Maris won back to back AL MVP awards in 1960 and 1961 for the Yankees In 1961 Maris broke Babe Ruth's home run record with 61. Maris was in 7 all star games , 7 World Series (winning with the Yankees in '61 and in '62 and with the Cardinals in '67. Maris has been on the veteran's ballot 1 previous time in 2007. Roger Maris lived until 1985 dying at the age of 51.
Minnie Minoso Years Played: (1946-1980) *includes his time in the negro leagues and his return to baseball in 1976 and 1980* Teams: Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Indians, New York Cubans, Washington Senators, St. Louis Cardinals.
Minoso had a life time batting average of .298 and was 37 hits shy of 2000. A 9 time American League All Star (4 time all star with the negro leagues). Minnie had 4 gold gloves and his only post season play was when the New York Cubans won the Negro League World Series in 1947. Minoso was the first black player to play for the White Sox. Minoso has been on 4 previous Veterans committee ballots, in 2015 he received 8 of 16 possible votes. Minnie Minoso died in 2015 less than 9 months before he would have turned 90.
Danny Murtaugh Years Managed (1957-1976) Team Pittsburgh Pirates
Murtaugh is the only person on this years Golden Days Era Ballot that I had not previously heard of. Murtaugh played second base for the Philadelphia Phillies, Boston Braves, and Pittsburgh Pirates from 1941 to 1951 in between serving in WW II. As a manager, Murtaugh led the Pirates to two World Series championships in 1960 and 1971 and managed 3 all star games.. Murtaugh has been twice considered by veterans committees previously in 2008 & 2010. Danny Murtaugh died at the age of 59 on December 2, 1976 just 2 months after retiring as the Bucs manager.
Tony Oliva Years Played (1962-1976) Team Minnesota Twins
Oliva like Murtaugh did as a manager, retired from playing baseball after the 1976 season. In the American League( like Dick Allen in the NL) was the 1964 Rookie of the Year. Oliva won back to back AL batting crowns in 64&65 and a third in 1971 and was an all star for 8 consecutive years beginning in his sensational '64 campaign. Olivia received as much as 47.3% of the BBWAA votes in his 15 years on their ballot. This is his 5th time being considered by committees and like Allen he missed enshrinement by only 1 vote in 2015. Unlike Allen, Tony Oliva who turned 83 earlier this year may still be alive if Cooperstown does finally come calling.
Billy Pierce Years Played 1945-1964) Teams Chicago White Sox, San Francisco Giants, Detroit Tigers,
Pierce is among 5 former White Sox players being considered for the HOF by the committee this year. While he neither began or finished his illustrious career with the Sox, he hurled 13 seasons for the pale hose and had his # 19 was retired by the club back in 1987. Pierce was a 7 time all star and was the AL pitcher of the Year in 1955 with an era of 1.97. Pierce was on the veterans ballot for the first time in 2015. Billy Pierce died in 2015 at the age of 88.
Maury Wills Years Played:1959:1972 Teams Los Angeles Dodgers, Pittsburgh Pirates, Montreal Expos.
Wills was a 7 time all star with back to back gold gloves at shortstop in 1961 and 1962. In 1962 Wills was the NL MVP as well as the All Star MVP. He played in 4 World Series for the Dodgers winning the championship 3 times. This is Wills 4th time being considered by the veterans committee receiving 9 of the minimum 12 votes needed for enshrinement back in 2015. Maury Wills turned 89 this past October.
Fun Fact: Wills, Pierce and Hodges all played in the 1959, World Series. This does not include Minnie Minoso who played for the White Sox in all but 2 seasons between 1950 and 1961. Alas, one of those season was 1959, otherwise 4 of the 10 players on this years ballot would have been in that series.
Analysis:
This is a very deserving class and itis more than a little mind numbing that some of these players were not enshrined long ago. I have a well earned reputation as a Sox homer so it should not be surprising that I think I can make a good argument for inclusion into the HOF for 4 of these former southsiders. That being said, I think the two most logical candidates for enshrinement this time out are the two players (Dick Allen and Tony Oliva) who missed it by one vote in 2015. This would allow for my first White Sox hero to achieve in death what I think he most certainly earned in life and to have Oliva avoid the same speedbump on his eventual road to Cooperstown.
If there are more than these 2 enshrined look to Kaat, Wills and Minoso as the logical candidates. The rest of the field are also quite deserving and have 1 two time MVP in Maris and 1 MVP in Boyer not to take anything away from Pierce, Hodges or Murtaugh. I guess we will have to wait until December 5th to find out if any of these fine baseballers are Cooperstown bound. We've been waiting so long for some of them, what's another 10 days?

Batting .500 on first round of very biased MLB playoff predictions
Right before the MLB playoffs began I wrote down my predictions for the playoffs and posted them here.
I picked the White Sox to win it all, which might seem the ultimate heart instead of head choice, but I 80% believed that the Sox could be the 2021 World Series Champs.
Of course, this was not meant to be. The Astros beat the White Sox in 4. It was a series of blowouts with Houston winning 3 of the blowouts and the Sox winning only game 3. The White Sox had their chances leading 3 0f the 4 games but the Astros led all 4 games and their hitting was relentless.
In my other ALDS prediction I correctly picked the Red Sox to beat the Tampa Bay Rays in their AL East rivalry. I also correctly picked the NL Wild Card (and 2020 reigning World Series champ) LA Dodgers over their NL west rival over the San Francisco Giants.
In the pick I felt less certain about I did pick the Brewers to beat the Braves in the other NLDS and I was quite wrong about that. (Fun fact: Both the Brewers and the Braves once called Milwaukee County Stadium their home. ) It's just as well as the Dodgers Braves NLCS match-up is a rematch of my the first baseball my game my Dad ever attended. This was back when the Dodgers played in Brooklyn and Jackie Robinson played for them and the Braves were playing in Milwaukee.
The Red Sox lost game 1 in the ALCS and the Dodgers Braves NLCS gets underway today, Now that the White Sox are out of the mix, I am not as invested in the results but I would not be surprised if any of these teams were to win the World Series this year.

My Very Biased Playoff Predictions
As both the NL Wild Card and AL Wild Card games are in the books time for my hopes and dreams for the rest of the playoffs. Predictions are too string of a word, but I will take credit for any of these picks that turn out right as I have the courage of my convictions to post them here.
National League
Dodgers vs Giants
I pick the Dodgers,
Brewers vs, Braves.
Ever since I lived 2 hours from Atlanta back when the Braves won their World Series in the last century I have been a pretty big Braves supported from afar. That's not true exactly. I have loved the Braves ever since the days of hammering Hank Aaron who remains my favorite ball player who never wore a Chicago uniform. That being said I think the Brewers will beat the Braves in a close series.
Dodgers vs. Brewers
I am a little torn here and will explain my reasoning more when I get to my World Series pick but suffice it to say I'll pick the Dodgers.
American League
Rays vs. Red Sox.
The Rays were very impressive in a very impressive division. I think the Red Sox will find a way to skate past Tampa.
White Sox vs. Astros.
In a rematch of the 2005 World Series the former NL Astros play my beloved White Sox. I hope with all the hope I can muster that Houston will have a problem and the pale hose will prevail.
White Sox vs. Red Sox.
Let me boldly assert that the Sox will definitely win this match-up. The question is what color will these victorious Sox be adorned with, Again my hope is that the White Sox will prevail.
2021 World Series Pick
White Sox vs. Dodgers
If the White Sox do make it to the World Series my preference would be they play the Brewers. I live less than 2 hours from each ball park and would try to get tickets without breaking my bank account. However I love the symmetryof the White Sox beating the Astro's and the Red Sox as they did in 2005 and then avenging their last World Series defeat in 1959 by beating the reigning champion Dodgers.
It could happen and in October anything can happen, so why not that?!!!? Go Go White Sox!
