July 23, 200619 yr Anyone else voted on the MLB site for each teams hometown hero? Its kind of a joke to have players from the Diamondbacks, D-Rays and even the Marlins and Rockies on there too. I mean yes these teams have played for a little while but when you have five players from each of these teams on there and Andre Dawson doesn't get mentioned for the Nats/Expos it really sucks. I wrote in Dawson at least you can do that.
July 23, 200619 yr I thought it was a little fun- I did it yesterday. Yes, I chose Conine! what a surprise....
July 23, 200619 yr i voted for luiy...though i think it's plum stupid that, the way it's set up, most votes will come from fans of other teams.
July 23, 200619 yr I find it funny that Pete Rose made it, but Shoeless Joe Jackson wasn't on there at all. And Robb Nen? That should have been Sheffy.
July 24, 200619 yr Author Lowerll should be an option... If a players not there you can write them in, I did this with a couple of teams.
July 27, 200619 yr For anyone who doesnt know, MLB.com is letting fans vote for one player on each club whose the best player all time for that club. The winners will be unveiled in late september. Here are my problems: First of all the nominees for the marlins are skewed and important pieces are missing. Second, no write in is going to win so if not nominated that player isnt going to win. Third, it lets fans vote as many times as they want, so it cheapens this whole thing the same way that the allstart game is cheapened by the unlimited voting. So this whole thing for me really just sucks. I'd love to see who the real winners were, if you can only vote once
July 28, 200619 yr they should have limited it to the original 16 teams To kind of prove your point: Choices: Yogi Berra Joe DiMaggio Lou Gehrig Mickey Mantle Babe Ruth Choices: Gary Carter Livan Hernandez Brian Schneider Rusty Staub Jose Vidro Just looks funny to me. Incidentally, I wrote in *Costanza!
