Why the Baseball Hall Of Fame is Better than Footballs!

Well we will not argue the Sport, we will not argue the Greatness of the Players
These are legitimate arguments, We will not even argue the Pros and Cons of Cooperstown NY or Canton OH.

We will let this come down to one "Special" Award or Wing that each wing of the Hall of Fame has.

The Broadcaster wing, Baseball is called The Ford Frick Award, and Baseball's is called the Pete Rozelle award, No that is not the argument either, if it was I would give the check to the NFL

This is about who is in and in some cases who is not.

Notice 2010 is not here, More about that later and why he makes my argument a no brainer.(is that a word?)

There are a few missing on baseball but give it time, there really is not anyone not in who we would kick out,

But in 2010 the Pete Rozelle Award is going to, (Clearing Throat after gagging)
Chris F N Berman--Yes I did say Chris F N Bermen

He is well known as a Studio Host, I believe that a few Past or present studio hosts should get the Pete Rozelle Award.

Where is Brent Musburger, (NFL Today CBS). James JB Brown (FOX and CBS)
Bob Costas, (NBC) Len Berman (NBC) no relation to Chris
I would argue all 4 should be in

Or if not a Studio Host
There are other guys, most are still working
Al Michaels, Jim Nantz, Howard David (Great Radio Play by Play, Pats, Jets, Dolphins, Monday Night and still working), Bob Trumpy, Sam Rosen, Marv Albert, and last but maybe the most deserving is Tom Brookshier

But how can any hall Of Fame except the Hall of Dumbass Annoying Idiots include Chris F N Berman.

The only way Baseball can be as bad is if they Induct a guy like John Sterling, or Michael Kay, That would be just as Bad.

I leave you with This Chris Berman Classic
