Michigan Baseball Star Barry Larkin elected to Hall of Fame

Submitted by JR's Flow on

Congratulations to Michigan great Barry Larkin on being elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame!

 

 

Larkin, who spent his entire 19-year career with the Cincinnati Reds, was the lone player inducted into the Hall of Fame on his third year of the ballot. Larkin received 86% of the vote of the Baseball Writers' Association of America, eclipsing the 75% needed for induction.

The first one and mine were posted like a minute apart. Just looks worse because posts were made at the same time. Thought I would leave it up to the mods to do with it because mine has a legitimate link to a story and fancy blockquote, not a link to a twitter.

But according to the posts, they were 11 minutes apart, not a minute. So don't get too indignant about it. People get "scooped" on the boards.  It happens. Doesn't mean you weren't paying attention.  Just means you weren't fast enough. It's a baseball thread. It'll top out at like 20 posts. No great harm done.

was a teammate of Hal Morris, Chris Sabo and Casey Close at Michigan. I believe he was also a heavily recruited DB.

BL was a solid to very good MLB player, but I'm not convinced he's HoF material.

Congrats to him nonetheless.
