Thunder set to meet Hilltops in PFC final rematch
Oct 14, 2024
The Saskatoon Hilltops meet rivals Regina Thunder on Oct. 20 in Saskatoon.
Today is the day we find out if Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Larry Walker get into the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y.
Bonds and Clemens continue to get more and more support but look to again be shy of the 75 per cent threshold. They belong in Cooperstown because unless they’re stripping their records from the books, their legacies are still intact. Plus, the steroid scandal is a part of baseball history and it’s a hall of fame after all.
For Walker, the Canadian-born smooth-swinging outfielder should have been in years ago. But because he played in Colorado, he has the Coors Field tag. The thin air inflates numbers for batters. But I don’t think the thin air impacted his seven Gold Gloves.
Walker is on the ballot for the last time and hopefully he gets the news he has long waited to hear.
And Fergie Jenkins needs some company as a Canadian inducted into Cooperstown.
