What's to come for the 2017 MLB Hall of Fame ballot.

Cooperstown will only have two former players enshrined, but it's nonetheless a hell of a class.   Back in the 1990s, Ken Griffey Jr. was the Michael Jordan in baseball. He had not just the strong core to help form the amazing swing of all-time. He epitomized coolness in fashion. Why do so many people wear that baseball cap backwards? Because of him, and he kicked so much ass with it. There was a swagger to him that you couldn't help but not watch. I've seen him play baseball when I was a kid,

My unofficial 2016 MLB Hall-of-Fame ballot

Tomorrow afternoon, at least one player will be voted into Cooperstown, who in turn will be enshrined. Another player, on his fourth ballot, has a great shot of getting in. You have two more with an outside shot of getting in, though perhaps unlikely.   For those who are curious, here is the official Hall-of-Fame ballot. The closest to make the HOF last year is Mike Piazza at 69.9 percent. He might get in this year. Ken Griffey, Jr., a first-time person on the ballot, is getting in. Out of the

RIP, Devil

I agree with Bob Ross. Washing the brush is easily the most fun part of the wet-on-wet technique.

Abbott & Costello's "Who's On First?"

Delivery, presentation, and timing are everything in great comedy. Without them, your jokes won't work, which means your audience won't laugh. But if you succeed in making great comedy, then you can repeat the joke and still make your audience laugh hard.   "Who's On First?", the Abbott & Costello skit from 1953 (and one that FIM parodied in Tanks for the Memories). is one such example. It's eight minutes of some fantastic comedy. If you haven't seen this skit, please watch it. If you have

Happy (belated) 101st birthday, Irwin Corey!

The man in the picture above is Irwin Corey, a Jewish-American comedian. No matter the age, he was always someone who likes to tell jokes. One of his most famous gimmicks is him as "Professor Irwin Corey."   On July 29, The World's Foremost Authority turned 101 years old.   Here's an NY Daily News article about him just before he turned 100. He also cracks a good joke.   Happy birthday, Professor!
