Congratulations to Frank Thomas and Tony La Russa, Baseball's HoF

From the July 28, 2014, Raleigh (NC) News & Observer "Tears, apologies and enshrinement" by John Kekis, AP.

"Frank Thomas choked back tears, Joe Torre apologized for leaving people out of his speech and Tony La Russa said he felt uneasy.

Also inducted to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown were pitchers Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux, and managers Bobby Cox.

Being a Chicago (especially White Sox) fan, I was extra happy for Thomas, probably the all-time greatest Sox player.  And, Tony La Russa cut his managerial teeth as White Sox skipper in the 80s, taking them to the playoffs in 1983.  And, Greg Maddux was originally a Cub.

Congrats, Guys.  --Cooter
