Rico Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 WTF!?!? I just heard this while driving home on the Baltimore FAN station. They were wondering what team he will be inducted with, and I would say the Orioles can have him. As soon as he joined the Yankees, things started falling apart, The Curse Of The Moose. BUT huge congrats to the great Mariano Rivera. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd have Schilling ahead of Mussina. As a die hard Mets fan who pretty much hates anything and everything about the Yankees I'm glad to see Mariano went in unanimously. Anything less would have been based on a voters sheer stupidity or ignorance or arrogance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 So you can't tell the history of baseball with discussing Mike Mussina, huh? He had a good career, but that's as meh a selection as it gets. But Clemens being denied makes up for anything. ***** him forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Mussina and Martinez have absolutely zero business being in the Hall of Fame. Zero. It's getting watered down. This hear has been horrible with Baines, Mussina and Martinez. Bad year for Cooperstown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Fan Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Mariano- I mean even for someone like me who dislikes the Yanks.... how can anyone dislike the guy? Congrats and well deserved If Baines, Mussina, and Martinez got in why not Kenny Lofton? One of the best center fielders I’ve seen in my lifetime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinceThe70s Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Posting this here because it doesn't deserve it's own thread but the Mariners signed future HOFer Ichiro to a minor league deal. The Mariners open the season in Japan with a two game exhibition series against the Yomiuri Giants followed by a two game season opening series against the A's and Ichiro will be added to the expanded roster. Cool move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he was super intelligent but I remember after every poor start he'd have some stupid excuse, ooh the air isn't perfect... Also when Joe Torre wrote his tell all book about his tenure with the club, Mussina for whatever reason was designed as the elder statesman there. In reality as you say they never won a World Series when he was with the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality as you say they never won a World Series when he was with the club I was talking to a big O’s fan the other day and he said he was at the game in 1998 where Moose got hit in the face by a Sandy Alomar liner, broke his nose, and was never the same after that. Even on the O’s though, I remember him never being clutch in big games and big moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExWNYer Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Mussina shouldn't be in at all but since he is, he should be in as an Oriole, IMO. Maybe he and Harold Baines can face off against each other in a pay per view event that nobody would give a damn about... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 With a SJW holdout on Bonds and Clemens it has no credibility so let in anyone who smiled and had a good long career, ha ha ho ho hee hee they even made Don Sutton and Early Wynn crawl to 300 wins to get in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
