Friday Fungoes: Inauguration Week Edition
By Mike McClary in Featured, Fungoes | 1 comment
Clearing out a mental notebook — and a paper-based one, too — on a dreary Friday afternoon:
Morris Left Out Again: Our most recent poll question, Does Jack Morris deserve to be in the Hall of Fame?, pulled in 57 responses, 61 percent (35 votes) said yes; 39 percent (22 votes) said nay. Early on, the results were dead even but as the month progressed — and the Hall of Fame voting drew nearer — Morris gained steam among the Fungo Faithful.
Alas, another year has passed and Jack the Cat will not be inducted in Cooperstown. Yes, his vote total reached 44 percent this year, but it seems that Morris may end up a Veterans’ Committee selection down the road. You know how I feel about that.
Speaking of the Hall of Fame, Alan Trammell garners a meager 17.4 percent? That’s embarrassing.
Charlie Spikes who played in 10 games for the 1978 Tigers (.250, 0 HR, 2 RBI). He was acquired on Dec. 9, 1977, from the Indians for shortstop Tom Veryzer.
Have a great weekend.

Having seen Lyon up close, any thoughts on him?
