SECOND ORDER OF BUSINESS:

Last season Cliff @ http://raysrenegade.mlblogs.com/
petitioned to have the HOVVG Constitutional Ban against Shoeless Joe Jackson and Pete Rose put to a vote for the purposes of lifting the ban against them.  The motion won approval through a vote of the fans.  The time to reward them with our approval or deny them entry into our Halls is now.  We'll pick up where we left off and begin 2011 with....

His candidate for election into the HOVVG is:
KENT TEKULVE



He Makes His Case:
Hey Mike,
Have I got a Week 8 submission for you: Kent Tekulve. Here it goes...

Who says sidearm pitchers are weak, worthless and absolutely nuts? Who says a baseball player has to look like Jim Palmer? Tek was the opposite of everything – yet he was one of the most effective relievers of his time. Started with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1974, Tekulve remained the mainstay closer through the late 1970s into the 1979 World Series. After 12 seasons in Pittsburgh, Tek crossed the Turnpike to Philly, ending his career in Cincinnati. The numbers are not bad: 184 career saves, 2.85 ERA and a 94-90 overall record. So? It’s not the numbers that make Tekulve stand out – it was the way his sidearm made the best hitters think twice about connecting off of it. It was that nasty! It still is.
