What a kind gesture hooking everyone up for the get together. I had pretty much the same time line for the Open. I'm surprised you don't dabble in golf cards. Enjoy the National!!
First...Safe travels and have fun at the National. I'm not going. I just got home today from Cooperstown fir my 30th Induction weekend. To answer your question about why some guys weren't there...I was told some were because of travel issues with the outage on Friday. Others are having some issues with the Hall, like Dawson. Jackson also has voiced his opinion on some things and dosen't intend on attending the Induction, possibly ever again. There are definitely some issues going on.
Already pumped to see all the recap videos coming out later this week. Little too far of a drive for me this year so I'll have to live vicariously through all the RU-vidrs that I follow.
I wonder how much the tech outage impacted some HOFers getting to New York. I know a few former Red Sox couldn't make it to Joe Castiglione's induction for the Ford Frick Award due to flights being all screwed up.
I think some of those guys couldn't make it to the HOF ceremony because of travel snafus due to the big IT outage on Friday. I thought I saw that was why Pedro didn't make it. Anyway hope you and everyone else has fun at the National. Aiming to go next year.
Hey mike, sorry that I'll miss you in cleveland. I am planning on going to the Chicago one next year when we visit her parents. Safe travels my friend. Don't worry, I'm not bringing my baby at the show. Lol
