Baseball Hall of Fame drama is tiresome, so I’ll keep this brief: Yesterday, David Ortiz was selected for Cooperstown. He was the only baseball man selected. Barry Bonds had better numbers and was accused of a near-identical misdeed, but missed out again. You could say the same about Roger Clemens.
Now for some lockout talk, which is not at all tiresome...
Around baseball
• The MLB owners and MLBPA got together again yesterday for some chit chat. Some progress was made.
• Some don’t even care if their players are safe and healthy.
