Wasn't there once the stupid belief that no player should enter the Hall of Fame unanimously? That's since gone out the window.
Yes. I believe the thinking was since none of the first class of inductees - Cobb, Ruth, Wagner, Johnson, and Mathewson - was elected unanimously, nobody else should be. Something stupid like that.

Time to start a poll for which month Pujols pulls a Tom Brady and re-signs.

I hope not. I loved the run, Pujols is my favorite player ever, but it's time to move on. Wainwright needs to retire too.

Albert Pujols plans to honor his 10-year, $10-million personal-services contract with the Angels despite owner Arte Moreno’s intentions of selling the team and the disappointing end to the slugger’s nine-plus-year tenure in Anaheim.

“He plans on fulfilling all of it,” said a person familiar with Pujols’ thinking but not authorized to speak publicly about it. “He’s excited to see who the new owner is.”

I presume he's mentioning it so he gets released from it, or it gets sold to the Cardinals. "Hey, Angels! See how good I could have been!" for ten years is going to be a tough sell.

It's definitely his way of saying "hey new owner, don't forget the $10 million the team owes me. I'm ready to perform my end of the contract, you best be ready to pay me no matter what you decide to do."

Yeah, give me 10 million and I’ll relax in LA. Not a bad gig.
