This just in "professional athlete is an asshole".

And just enough potential and flashes of greatness to make you think this could be the year he breaks out.

And that's the shit that will keep him around on one-year contract after one-year contract until he's around 35. The Tease is almost as appealing to a GM as The Sure Thing.

The Yankees retired Bernie Williams' number? Really? He was pretty much the definition of "very good" but worthy of retiring his number? Doubtful.

100% on personality

Addendum: and his jazz album
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Scooter Rizzuto, too (minus the jazz). Solid defensive SS, but HoF and retired number? Get outta here. It's cos of his endearing personality.

If HoFs are (or should be) just 100% on-field performance, those two shouldn't get into a club or mlb HoF. But increasingly, I think the admittence definition should center around "did they kindle our love.of the game?" whether it be through pure on field performance or some combination of qualities. By that standard, I think Bernie gets it for his club.

I agree that this kind of stuff shouldn't be cold stat-based arguments, but I just think about Bernie's career and nothing about it suggests “retire his number,” even if we don't measure it against the obscene historic talent of that club. He was never the best player on his team—was he ever a top 3 guy on his team, in performance or fan love?—so it seems like cheapening the honour of retiring his number. Seems like he's benefiting from the fetishization of the late 90s clubs (i mean, hell, Posada has his number retired, too).
