Looks like the only one of these inductees who had been previously honored in the various Latin American-based Halls of Fame is Carmelo Martínez. He was inducted into the Caribbean Baseball Hall of Fame in 2004. In 35 CARS games, he hit 10 HR, batted .277, and slugged .589. He was MVP in 1987.

We just covered the White Brothers in our latest episode! James was the HOF’er but Will’s career was sneaky amazing - if multiple 40 win seasons can be sneaky.

Aw man, RIP George Altman. After appearing with the 1955 Kansas City Monarchs, he finally made the majors in 1959 with the Cubs. He was an All-Star in 1961 (.303, 27 HR, 96 RBI) and 1962 (.318, 22 HR, 74 RBI, 19 SB). He hit 101 homers in a 9-year career. He was 92 years old.

I'm reading Paper of Wreckage, an oral history of the New York Post, and came across Mike Vaccaro reminiscing about the time in 2003 when he brutally zinged then Mets GM Steve Phillips.

He’s talking about tours. Literally bragging about how much the tours bring in year-round.
Yet the Dodgers are refusing to pay a living wage and engaging in union busting.

I think it's really brutal to try to rank Game 7s. Better to group them.
1925 is its own class
This one goes with 1924, 1960, 1991, 1997, 2001, 2016, and I suppose 1975.
They're all amazing (hopefully not missing one - list was off top of mind)

Only 4 pitchers have recorded a Pitcher’s Cycle — striking out every batter in the opposing lineup — in the World Series:

Jesse Barnes, 1921 G6

Which World Series victory in your lifetime – NOT featuring your favorite team – brought you the most joy?
(For me I think it's 2019 Nationals with 2016 Cubs close behind.)

Great advice not just for tonight, or a game which happens after an unexpectedly long game the night before, but for ALL sporting events, concerts, and just times out in public.
The people working may be getting paid to be there, but they're still people. Treat them with the kindness they deserve.
