Ryne Sandburg about his entry into the Hall
"The name on the front matters much more than the name on the back"

How I wish we had people of his caliber in the White House. Honest, hard working, ALWAYS a class act.

But no. Most pols are more like Bonds, Thomas and Palmiero, drugged up, selfish and conceited little pwiks.

1. I miss him ...

I've had a hard time being a Cubs fan ever since his retirement.

4. Thomas never took roids, hes spoken out against them
Hes always just been a big guy. He was a football player in college. He and several White Sox players have wanted more testing in the past.
