When I first found this site there was only one real name on it and he was talking about himself, so I figured that was the norm.
I intended to make one single post to show that at least one person had doubts about the selection process being completely fair.
Then a pro selection committee guy insulted me(he only used his first name)so I supplied some information. Someone else asked a question so I supplied more information.
I didn't use names because I was afraid if I made their names public it might hurt their chances of ever being inducted. My name at this point might also hurt their chances. I didn't know how the committee would react to their selections with actual names being challenged in public. I also didn't want one of them in the spot light because of me. You will see why shortly.
As for as my recognizing talent, I was involved in softball for 37 years and saw the best of the best.
As a footnote:
The sponsor I spoke of has Alzeimer's' disease. If he had been inducted the year, there was a chance he might have know. Next year he won't.
That's the reason any of this happened. It was never about the player. He and his partial stats were included to make this year's committee selections more questionable.
I don't know how any of this insulted you personally, but from the tone of your post it did.
Do me a favor request this man's accomplishments and judge for yourself. The committee will know who he is.
I will leave you with a fact that was omitted from his accomplishments: One year he sponsored 3 teams; 2 mens and one womens. His two mens teams won the ASA class A and class C state championships that same year.
Your questions were good. Your tone was not.
I hope I answered them to your satisfaction.
If you want fire insults at me now, go for it. I was only fighting for a man who could not fight for himself and hoped to get some support without hurting his chances. The person who nominated him is confronting the committee.
I've had my say. I'm done.
