Is Johnny Damon a Hall of Famer?


When we think of Johnny Damon, now of the Tampa Bay Rays, I'm not sure many people think of a future hall of famer. Well we have a few stats to prove that he most certainly is a hall of fame caliber player.
Damon broke into the big leagues at the age of 21 on August 12, 1995 as a Kansas City Royal. Since he has played for them, Oakland, Boston, New York Yankees, Detroit, and now Tampa Bay. Damon currently has 2,665 hits, so he has a great chance to get to 3,000 if he plays a few more years. Currently he ranks 68th in MLB history for all time hits. Which seems to be a good possibility since he still enjoys it and everyone says he is in great shape. Damon has 501 doubles which ranks him 50th in MLB history 1 behind Andre Dawson. He has 1088 RBI's and 224 home runs.
Damon was a big part of the Boston Redsox 2004 world series, and there ALCS 3-1 come back against the Yankees. Then again in 2009 as part of the New York Yankees he again was a big part of a World Series Championship, and in my opinion he should of been series MVP. Don't forget he was the 2004 Sports Illustrated sports man of the year.
One thing is sure Damon who is now 37, and will be 38 later this year, will increase all of his numbers. I believe that he is a Hall of Famer right now, let alone when he retires. Do you agree?

Mark Cuban, Owner of the Los Angelas Dodgers


Mark Cuban owner of the Los Angelas Dodgers? I say absolutely! This guy is a outspoken guy and that scares Selig and the rest of the owners, that's why he didn't get the cubs franchise. But it is time for this to happen. He will bring this franchise back to were it should be, top of it division. Since Cuban bought the Maverics they haven't missed the playoffs they have been to two NBA finals and won a champion ship. A Maverics team keep in mind that never truly competed in the NBA before his take over.
His players and his fan base love the guy and I thin that is the number 1 quality in a owner. Baseball don't like those attributes in there owners, look at how they drove poor old Marge Schott out of Cincy! But the fact of the matter is he will take the dodger's over and immediately spend the money to get big name guys there. And you all know that players will want to play for him!
Honestly baseball messed up when they turned him down to buy the cubs, that is a city and a franchise that with his help, could of finally took that step to get out of there world series drought. So I say Selig, MLB owners, and fans embrace this guy into baseball and he will improve revenue, ratings, and eventually those tv deals will get even bigger!
