but its bittersweet, bc Sweet Lou didnt go in with him. didnt even get on the fucking ballot.

his exclusion is an ongoing travesty. possibly the greatest current Hall of Fame snub in any sport. hopefully the 2020 Modern Baseball committe fixes that. someone ahow them where to find his 74.9 WAR on baseball reference!

but still. the "Bless you boys!" 84 Tigers finally getting overdue recognition.
