I'm surprised there isn't a New York movement to get TINO Martinez into the Hall of Fame :- )

The unpleasant flavor of the "vicious" debate over the DH is, sadly, another debate that is symptomatic in society today. ... of course, it's nothing new in baseball. Elitist debates -- who is in the club, who is worthy of worship, what qualities and attributes will be met with hushed reverence, that's been going on in baseball for 100 years.
There aren't many ways, any more, for a "journalist" to make a statement that he "gets" the game better than bloggers do. Mock irritability over the DH is one of the few ways in which he still can.
