If the Baseball Hall of Fame is for the men and women who had a lasting, dramatic and positive impact on the sport, Larry Lucchino is a no-brainer.
Take a look around baseball today. Pretty sweet, huh? Whatever happened to those cookie-cutter ballparks anyway? Remember when a trip to one baseball stadium felt a lot like a trip to every other baseball stadium?
Twenty-five years ago, Lucchino decided to change that. He had some help from a brilliant architect named Janet Marie Smith, whose contributions to our sport are so immense that there's a ridiculously easy case to be made for her Hall of Fame credentials as well.
