Rice was voted into the Hall of Fame in his last year of eligibility: a retired player is given a 15-year window and Rice was first eligible in 1995.  Hall of Fame voters, who are selected baseball writers, vote each year and a player needs to accumulate a sufficient percentage of votes.  From 1995 to 2008, Rice had come close every year. So why would Rice become Hall of Fame worthy in 2009 after 14 years of falling short?  Telly Halkias of the Advocate suggests it had little to do with Rice and much more to do with the situation of baseball, steroids, and inflated numbers across the league in the period of time following Rice’s retirement. Though impressive by any measure, Rice’...

First, let it be said that baseball is the greatest invention/sport/game/call-it-what-you-will in the history of mankind (ok, save for the printing press).  Now that we have that out of the way, I’ll explain. An early summer’s evening and I’m out in the back garden doing whatever one does on such evenings: flipping chicken on the barbecue, watering the plants, picking peas, brushing the dogs; doesn’t matter.  I’m likely to have the l...

Things made out of wood, with strong colors, minimal “special features,” certain textures, have all along been favored. Gizmos aren’t Charlie. While he’s been very glad to be in possession of two Leapsters (one beat up and not really working, the other still kind of newish), carrying them around and keeping them with him seems as or more important than pushing the buttons and looking at the little screen and playing the games. So it makes sense to me that a stick was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame. Few playthings can be more basic and readily found in one’s own frontyard. Simplex munditis, yes.

Bo released 11 albums between the year 1958-1963 and received numerous awards: He was inducted into the Washington Area Music Association’s Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Rockabilly Hall of Fame and the Grammy Hall of Fame. He was also honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Rhythm and Blues Foundation and received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1998. Sad loss for the world of music and all his adoring fans.
