True Reggie story -

In 1981 after the player strike, the All Star Game was in Cleveland. My aunt got
some tickets, and I went with my brother and cousin. We were in the left field bleachers
and during batting practice Reggie was out in left catching fly balls.

The Cleveland fans hated the Yankees, and especially Reggie. They were calling him
names, yelling at him and Reggie just ignored it.

Then Reggie made a nice running catch on the warning track and all the fans started
yelling "Hey Reggie, great catch, throw me the ball Reggie" and things to that effect.

Reggie looked at the fans, smile, nodded, pointed to a fan and pretended to toss him the ball,
then shook his head no, smiled and threw it into the infield.

Then the fans really let Reggie have it.

Funniest thing I ever saw at the time as an 18 year old kid from Illinois who had no
vested interest in Cleveland's hatred of all things Yankee.

So he doesn't think Blyleven should be in the Hall but Pettite should be? Blyleven is greater than Pettite and it isn't even close. I'm all for tightening up the Hall's standards but you completely blow your argument when offering up the name of a lesser player for enshrinement than the one you want out.

Would love to know what else he has in his car collection.
