ANOTHER SPIC ON THE METS--SOTO SIGNS WITH THE MESTIZOS FOR A RECORD BREAKING AMOUNT OF FAKE MONEY(750 MILLION OVER 15 YEARS)

GRA:Even if Juan Soto hits 50 HRS a year,he shouldn't get that kind of money.

(NY post)DALLAS — What a Juan-derful holiday season it will be for the Mets(GRA:bankruptcy?)

In a move reverberating through not just MLB, but the entire worldwide sports landscape, Juan Soto agreed to a record 15-year contract worth $765 million with the Mets on Sunday, according to sources, to usher in the Winter Meetings.

The deal, which is pending a physical, eclipses the $700 million contract over 10 years (which included significant deferrals) that Shohei Ohtani received from the Dodgers last winter.

GRA:You may say the Mets get billions from radio/tv,but is this the truth? Is THAT money real? I don't believe it,but the ones who run baseball do(or pretend to).

TWO MORE(bLACK)PLAYERS THAT DON'T BELONG IN THE HALL OF FAME,GET IN ANYWAYS--DAVE PARKER AND DICK(DON'T CALL ME,RITCHIE)ALLEN

DALLAS (AP) — Having waited for the call from Cooperstown for nearly three decades, Dave Parker burst into tears Sunday when he was elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame along with the late Dick Allen.

“Yeah, I cried,” Parker said after receiving the news from Hall chair Jane Forbes Clark. “It only took a few minutes, because I don’t cry.”

(GRA:I cried too--figuratively.)

Parker received 14 of 16 votes from the classic era committee at the winter meetings, and Allen got 13. A vote of 75% or more was needed for election.

They will be inducted into the Hall in Cooperstown, New York, on July 27 along with players voted in by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, whose balloting will be announced on Jan. 21.

Tommy John was third with seven votes on a committee that considered candidates whose primary impact was before 1980. Ken Boyer, Steve Garvey and Luis Tiant each received less than five votes, as did Negro Leaguers John Donaldson and Vic Harris.

Parker, who turned 73 in June, never got more 24.5% during 15 appearances on the BBWAA ballot from 1997-2011. Allen, who died in 2020 at age 78, received a high of 18.9% on the BBWAA ballot from 1983-97. Both also had fallen short in a series of prior committee votes.

Asked whether he had thought of himself as a Hall of Famer, Parker responded with one of his often-said remarks.


“Without a doubt."

Nicknamed The Cobra, Parker hit .290 with 339 homers and 1,493 RBIs for Pittsburgh (1973-83), Cincinnati (1984-87), Oakland (1988-89), Milwaukee (1990), California (1991) and Toronto (1991).

Since 2002, the Hall has made the decision on what team logo is used on a player’s cap.

“I might have to split it up three ways,” Parker said.

He won World Series titles in 1979 and ’89. He was the 1978 NL MVP, won the 1977 and ’78 NL batting titles, and was a seven-time All-Star and three-time Gold Glove right fielder.

GRA:These guys get in,but not Tommy John? He only won 288 games in his career. Sounds like there are a few nigs on the Veteran's Committee.

Parker and Allen are not HOF'ers. If there aren't people who REALLY belong in the "hall",don't vote in wannabes just to perform a task.They weren't voted in originally for a reason--they weren't GREAT.
