we should just make everyone a HOFr than.

That's not really how it works :lol: Just because they're on the ballot doesn't mean they magically make it into Cooperstown.

He'd be a first ballot hall of famer in the hall of potential.

Umm.... wouldn't that be a Hall of Potentialer in the Hall of Potential?

Had a 40 something man come to my garage sale and comment that Wood is a probable HOF. I said he has only about 100 wins. He countered with the 20k game.

He's not even getting into the Cub HOF

This is the problem. Tons and tons of these types of fans making the genuinely great Cub fans look bad

Wait, you got into with someone at a garage sale? My mom had a garage sale about a month ago and those people are worse than people you see at Wal-Mart. I don't see how you could take one seriously.

I wouldn't say into it. He was a nice guy with his kids. Just misguided.
