Baseball Revisionism
Jul. 18th, 2003 09:04 amLast night ESPN held a mock trial at Harvard Law School on the question of wether Pete Rose should be allowed in the Hall of Fame.
One of the witnesses was Bill "Spaceman" Lee, famous Red Sox pitcher. He was by far the best witness. When asked by Johnnie Cochran about his upcoming book, he replied "It's a revisionist history of the Red Sox. We win, and the Yankees always lose."
The jury voted to let Rose into the Hall. I'm still split on the subject.
