Bruce Sutter, the pioneer of the split-fingered fastball, will be the first honoree inducted into the Hall of Fame whose name never appeared on a starting lineup card

     Sutter is clearly deserving as one of the top closers of all-time, but this year's HOF looks rather tame compared to what it will look like next year.  Tony Gwynn Sr. and Cal Ripken Jr. are sure things, but I can't wait for the debate on Mark McGwire to begin.  At last year's Congressional meeting when he wasn't willing to talk about the past, McGwire said he was committed to doing all he can to keep steroids and other drugs away from kids.  To this day, he hasn't lifted a finger towards that cause.
