One player whom I often wonder about whether or not he would still be voted into the Hall of Fame by today’s baseball writers is Rod Carew. His family is really interesting, with him being a member of MLB’s 3,000 hit club and a Hall of Famer, his older brother, Jay, founding a modern-day clothing empire, and his younger brother, Rae, reaching the NFL for the Carolina Panthers before being arrested for plotting a murder.
Would today’s old, cranky baseball writers have held Rae’s illegal acts against Rod’s case for the Hall? Additionally, the head fashion designer at Jay’s clothing company took a lot of heat from conservatives in 2011 for painting her son’s toenails pink in an advertisement. You’d have to think that many of today’s troglodyte-level baseball writers, like Rod “Chinese Virus” Beer Temple, would have no problem keeping Carew out of the Hall for that alone.
This is really well done for being so early in the morning. The rollercoaster ride going from “Wow I never knew that!” to “I think this person is insane” to “Ohhhhhhhhh.........” was quite the experience!
