That was what the Hall was supposed to be. It can be again. Don't vote in somebody until he's been retired for 20 years and have only one shot at eligibility.

Yup-that would make sense-and no such thing as a veteran's committee. I don't think Tinkers, or Evers or Chance get into the elite group.

Don Van Vliet, aka Captain Beefheart.

Beefheart and Zappa were a couple of strange but brilliant dudes. Never could get into their music back in the day.

Van Vliet had little in the way of formal musical training, but he fell in with fellow Southern Californian Frank Zappa in the 1960s, adopted the name Captain Beefheart and with the Magic Band. The Times said his singing style resembled blues great Howlin' Wolf: "a deep, rough-riding moan turned up into swooped falsettos at the end of lines, pinched and bellowing and sounding as if it caused pain.

Red Sox? I guess that was before I was paying attention. I remember him playing for the White Sox and Orioles.

His best year ws his rookie year I think. He still holds the record for most consecutive plate appearance with a hit at 12. I remember seeing him as a kid a few times but not much else.

Made some really fascinating documentaries of the Olympics-always seemed to find the little gems of the performances to focus on.

Dreyfus: "Give me ten men like Clouseau and I could destroy the world"

I was young when I saw it and mesmerized by Maria Gambrelli.

Blake Edwards gave us some of the funniest moments on screen. "Let's see the Great Leslie try that one!!"
