Hall of Fame Ballot 2018

As you know, I am not in the BBWAA, so I cannot vote for the Hall of Fame or awards such as Rookie of the Year, Cy Young, and MVP. Instead, I share my thoughts and opinions with you through The Bleacher Creature. This year, Jim Thome, Chipper Jones, Vladimir Guerrero, and Trevor Jones got inducted. If I could vote, my ballot would look like this:

  1. Chipper Jones
  2. Jim Thome
  3. Vladimir Guerrero
  4. Trevor Hoffman
  5. Mike Mussina
  6. Edgar Martinez
  7. Billy Wagner
  8. Fred McGriff
  9. Omar Vizquel
  10. Curt Schillling

Chipper Jones, one of the greatest switch hitters of all time, is a no-brainer with his 468 home runs and MVP. Jim Thome also fits in this class because of his 612 home runs and record 13 walk off home runs. The oddballs are Mike Mussina and Billy Wagner. Billy Wagner was one of the most dominant relievers in Major League history by striking out 1,196 batters in 903 innings. He also collected a solid 422 saves and 2.31 ERA. Mike Mussina won 270 games, struck out 2,813 batters, and posted a 3.68 ERA over an 18 year career that saw him pitch 3,562.2 innings.

McDonald’s Buttermilk Crispy Chicken Review|Amusing or Confusing?

After McDonald’s stopped serving the food item due to popularity, McDonald’s restaurants officially welcomed back their Buttermilk Crispy Chicken Tenders back on December 29. I was only able to get my hands on them now, but nevertheless I had the experience. You would not believe how much flavor were in this type of chicken compared to the Chicken McNuggets. The Buttermilk Crispy Chicken also was bigger and were in available in four piece, six piece, and ten piece servings. McDonald’s also gets full credit for their design of the chicken box. The box came designed with spots for two dipping sauces of your choice. Overall, I totally recommend these new Buttermilk Crispy Chicken and rate them Amusing.
