( JOHN SOMMERS II, REUTERS / January 9, 2012 ) Schmuck's take: Congratulations to a great player and solid human. The voters -- who again gave Mark McGwire and Rafael Palmeiro only scant recognition -- clearly are drawing a line in the sand and putting a premium on integrity. Bonus take: Of course, it'll be interesting what they do next year when Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa become eligible. |
