To whomever watched, what did you guys think of the Hof inductions today? Im a lifelong Hawk fan, so I had to tune in. Would have made the trip but had other obligations this weekend. I loved his speech, it was real. No bullshit. Herzog was great too, had some good stories and didnt go on too long. The only negative I found in the whole day was John Miller's choice in shirt and tie. Other than that, it was spectacular. Love seeing all the living Legends there.

when he went to the cubs he handed them a blank check and said put what amount you want on it .then went on to win MVPComment -
In a year where he gave them the blank contract and said fill it out. Gotta love that, I didnt live in Chicago but fortunately for me WGN was everywhere. I watched every game I could. I did get to go see him when they would play in ATL and I saw him in a Exhibition game in ATL when he played for boston. Awesome 5 tool player and was glad to see him go in.Comment -
I wish maybe he hadnt spent so many years in Montreal, maybe he would have had a few good seasons left in him.Comment -
