The Scorecrow would like to congratulate the four players who were elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame tonight. Although there is always debate on who should be in and who shouldn’t, these four have proven worthy to 75% of the voters and deserve to be celebrated. See you in July at 25 Main Street in Cooperstown gentlemen.

Andruw Jones is looking to improve on the 7.3% of the vote he received last year. This is his second year on the ballot and he is not trending in the right direction. That is a shame as he was an amazing centerfielder but will he get that plaque in Cooperstown.

The Major League Baseball Hall of Fame ballot is currently stacked with many deserving candidates. While the voters are limited to ten, there will be players falling off the ballot, unfortunately. Lance Berkman may be one of them after only a year.

A legend died today. Melvin Leon Stottlemyre was a baseball icon for New York baseball. He lived most of his life for the pitchers that threw in the Bronx and Queens. Today we say goodbye to Mel after his long fight with cancer.

This year’s Military Bowl in Annapolis will be a battle between the Cincinnati Bearcats and the Virginia Tech Hokies. They are both experienced in bowl games with the Bearcats making a bowl 15 of the last 22 years. Virginia Tech extends its streak to 26 years in a row. How will this one go down?

Last year it was a battle of the Aggies. The New Mexico State version beat the Utah State version in OT 26-20. We can hope that this year’s iteration is just as compelling as Nevada goes up against Arkansas State.

This year’s matchup of South Carolina vs Virginia will be hard-pressed to match last year’s thriller that saw Wake Forest beat Texas A&M 55-52. While the game may not have the scoring of last year’s battle, this game should be close and is ripe for memorable moments.
