Quotes

...I have a friend who is a rabid Astros fan, and she is so (ticked) that Craig Biggio didn't get in ( "I guess I can wait 365 more days, she said.) We Reds fans feel the same way about Barry Larkin, and members of the Big Red Machine. Their induction validated what we experienced as fans. And that is why HoF arguments are so heated.(Page 3 of 3)In other words: Its all about ones perspective and the emotions attached thereto."

I'm just living in the present, and I'm not going to look down the road right now."
