Some more thoughts on the upcoming Hall of Fame results:
• Mike Mussina’s case has been gaining steam, and even though he will, in all likelihood, fall short this time, his day in the sun will be coming because — as seems to happen with Hall of Fame candidacies — his case gets stronger every year we are removed from his career and get to appreciate it more.
Something that Mussina said to me earlier this month keeps sticking out as a major argument in his favor. It was in regards to his lack of hardware to go with his win total.
