This is a stressful time for Mike Mussina. And it actually has nothing to do with the Baseball Hall of Fame.
In fact, when I ask him about the vote this week he confesses that he didn’t even know when it was being announced.
“I know it’s this month, that’s all I know,” Mussina said.
As head basketball coach at Montoursville High School in Pennsylvania, the 270-game winner has more anxiety about his team’s 2-5 start than seeing if he will move closer to the 75 percent balloting mark needed for election to Cooperstown. Mussina saw a significant gain a year ago when he garnered 43 percent and has momentum that could get him there in the next couple years.
