I like how MLB Network uses the local announcers when they cut to highlights and in game action durinh MLB Tonight. It gives fans a chance to hear announcers like Vin Scully and all of the other great baseball announcers across the country.

100% agree! We lived in Arizona for 7 years when i was growing up in the '70s. It was obviously in the days before sports coverage 24/7 and I used to listen to Vin Scully on the radio doing Dodger games every night, much simpler, much more enjoyable times. The voice of baseball. Got to say I got a little misty when he retired.

he will get in and while he shouldn't be 1st ballot it wouldn't shock me. icon for one of the historically elite teams - I'm a red Sox fan so my view is clouded but he deserves to be there

eta : so does Raffy but I feel like he was never appreciated as much and he should be and got caught lying on the largest scale

There is no way Ortiz is getting in unless they're ready to start putting in the Bonds/Clemens group, and they're not going to do that. So Ortiz is not getting in.

Just forget the PED/steroid issue... do you think he's deserving when bagwell wasn't?

No. But the reason Bagwell isn't in can at least partially be explained by the fact that most think he was on something.

The better comparison is Edgar Martinez, and Ortiz is not as deserving as Martinez, either.
