    [Overheard at the induction ceremony]


    Ricky: So, you're Corky, huh?


    Corky: Who's Corky? What?


    Ricky: You're not so special. I bet you put on your underwear one leg at a time just like the rest of us. Do you wear boxers or briefs?


    Corky: Depends.


    Ricky: Depends on what?

    Thanks to douche bags like this several great players will be denied the honor of being unanimously voted into the HOF. That will honor will go to someone else (who will be less deserving) after people like Corky die. My prediction is ARod will be the first unanimous HOF entry.

    Rick Reilly should ask Corky Simpson to pee in a cup. That way we can check his fiber levels.

    Yes, but he did vote for both Andre Dawson and Alan Trammell, so for that he gets a pass.

    You know, if Holly Mangold's journalism career takes off, and she joins the BBWAA, I'd consider making rude comments about that unfortunate acronym.

    Corky clearly missed Rickey's heroic antics while playing for the legendary Surf Dawgs.

    Given Rickey's remarks about Olerud, I bet Corky is just showing some solidarity for those who have to wear helmets all the time

    I bet you all don't remember Corky Simpson from the 1992 college football season. He was the AP voter who voted Alabama #1 every single week, up through their Sugar Bowl victory over Miami, thus clinching the AP National Championship!
    He's a good columnist. I didn't read the Citizen when I lived in Tucson, but I did read his columns online.

    Cal Ripken, 8 (537 of 545). That whole consecutive games playing streak thing? Overrated.


    Um, that's true.

    @Chuck Knoblockhead: A man should be recognized when he has the courage to show up to a job 162 days a year while collecting millions of dollars to play a kids game with decent skill and below-average physical attributes, like speed.

    @Chuck Knoblockhead: Take away Ripken's streak, cut his ASGs in half and he's still a HOFer.

    @GoldenPolynice: He should not be uttered in the same breath as Mays, Ruth, etc., and he is far from the most deserving to be elected to the HOF unanimously.


    Sure without the streak he's still a Hall of Famer, but that doesn't mean he isn't one of the most overrated players in baseball history.
