When Isaac Bruce retired last week after the 49ers showed class by trading him back to the Rams for nothing so he could retire as a member of the team where he enjoyed 14 extremely productive seasons, the debate immediately began on his Hall of Fame credentials. What I don’t understand is why there is any debate at all. While Bruce is most likely not a first-ballot entry, his production should speak for itself and he shouldn’t have to wait too long for his enshrinement in Canton.

Randy Johnson is on the cusp of something amazing, 300 wins. In the age of pitch counts and babying pitchers, this feat seems as though it may never happen again. Johnson, a five time Cy Young winner, is just one win away. The man is 45 years old and still has the same desire he did when he made his first start 22 years ago. Randy knows one thing, nothing comes easy.

As you probably already know, Curt Schilling announced his retirement earlier this week on his blog and the proper “Is he a Hall of Famer?” questions began. This debate always surfaces when you have a guy who does not have the complete resume for Cooperstown. How do voters reconcile regular versus postseason success? Can World Series rings and big game ability compensate for a lack in career numbers?
