Just Simply Holly

I just read an article that is more than worthy of being mentioned! Cal Ripken Jr. was voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame

“Ripken was picked by 537 voters, appearing on 98.5 percent of ballots, falling just short of the record percentage of 98.84 set by Tom Seaver when he was selected on 425 of 430 ballots in 1992″This doesn’t amaze me one bit, Cal is a wonderful man and set an excellent example for all to follow. I must admit, however, that I was saddened to hear that Goose Gossage was only 21 votes shy of making it in this year. I have fond memories of following the Yankees in the 1982 season because of a secret crush on the boy in the desk next to mine who was a HUGE Yankee’s fan….LOL! But I’m sure The Goose will make it next year!
