Baseball Hall of Fame voting was announced and it did surprise the world. Although Andre Dawson deserves to get the honor of ultimate Baseball fame, he happened to be the only person to get 75% of the voting by members of Baseball Writers Association of America.

Called the Hall of Fame voting; the 2010 Baseball Hall of Fame voting quite disappointed fans as only one among 26 baseball players who were present on the ballot could go to Cooperstown. Andre Dawson was the player who survived this. Dawson had a fine career with 8 years of playing to have made it to the Hall of Fame voting.

Dawson will be joining Whitey Herzog and Doug Harvey who were voted to the Baseball Hall of Fame during December 2009 by Veterans Committee of baseball.

Robert Alomar not making it to the Hall of Fame was the shock actually of the 2010 voting. Out of 539 votes a player should get 420 (which is a 75% support by members) to make it. In 2010, Andre Dawson could get 77.9% of the membership votes. Sadly, Bert Blyleven narrowly fell short of the support votes and he stood second with Roberto Alomar coming in at third with 73.7% of support.

Rumors are rife that the ballot has been rigged to push in some people into the 2010 Baseball Hall of Fame Baseball. The steroid scandals sadly pushed only Dawson to make it to the list and hopefully MLB will deal with the steroid issue seriously to promote ethics and morally boost the ethical players to make into the Hall of Fame.

The Fighting Irish are 4-1 but aren’t ranked in any major poll. The only winning team they’ve played, Michigan, they were able to beat on a touchdown, while their last three victories have come on the final minute.
Is this team any good, or does it just play to the level of its competition?
If you look at some of the other teams that are playing and look at how their games have gone, you will see that they can go right up to the top ten and work right on down.
What team has never had troubles in their schedule? Almost everybody has.

The Fighting Irish have had one loss by four points on the road with eleven seconds to go in the game. Looking at the flip side of it, only eleven seconds away from being undefeated right now, puts them right with everybody else.

Notre Dame will get its chance at victory in its next game, when USC comes to South Bend on the seventeenth of October. For now, they would be healing injuries, followed by a long weekend break so players can go home. All things considered, a lot of improvement has to be done before the Irish can even hope to knock off the Trojans, which should tackling in the list of items they need to develop.

Honestly, did anyone have doubts that Clausen would lead a touchdown drive on Saturday against Washington when Notre Dame got the ball back with a little under three minutes left?

While you could argue that games against Michigan State, Purdue and Washington didn’t need to go down to the final play, the team found a way to win those in the end. That’s the biggest difference between this year and last year, when Notre Dame also started 4-1. Nothing defined the season more than Saturday’s three goal-line stands, in which the defense allowed just three total points.

If they keep playing games like these, however, the Irish may cause a lot of heart attacks. After all, with coaches who are a bit older, these several blood-pumping final moments may be more distressing.
