That's ''Hall of Famer Kenny Williams'' to you
Coming to a Hall of Fame near me:
Members of the Hall's class of 2007 are Daryl Boston, Willard Hunter,
Joel Skinner, Ken Williams and honorary inductee Bob Cooney.
No, it's not the big Hall, which is roughly 80 minutes west of where I live.
We're talking about the Glens Falls Area Baseball Hall of Fame, which is almost an hour closer and will soon enshrine nearly as many White Sox as the one in Cooperstown. Glens Falls was the home of the Sox's Double-A team from 1980-85.
Three things should tip you off regarding the stature of this museum:
- It doesn't have a Web site.
- It's located in a bank.
- Daryl Boston might attend the ceremony.
Here's the list of White Sox legends
Williams,
Boston and
Skinner will join by the week's end:
According to
this article, the exhibit is being moved from the bank to the hotel where the ceremony will take place. After it returns to the bank, I will make a point to seek this place out. Incidentally, I wonder if they'd take any baseball card donations, because Cangelosi seemed to be in every single pack I bought growing up, and I probably have 4,000 Walker doubles as well.
******************
Keeping with the upstate theme, Jose Guillen, who I endorsed in the offseason plan, is
the latest MLB player attached to the Orlando pharmacy raid:Guillen, an 11-year veteran who
played for the Seattle Mariners last season, ordered more than $19,000
worth of drugs from the center between May 2002 and June 2005,
according to the records.
At this point, I wish the Mitchell Report would come out already so I know how I'm supposed to feel about all of this.
