    I enjoyed watching and listening to the replay of the induction of Goose Gossage and Dick Williams tonight on ESPN2. A lot of good stories told by both guys and also was impressed by all the Famers that attend the event.

    Has anyone been to the ceremonies and is it really cool? I wish I had gone to see Ripken and Gywnn get inducted into Cooperstown.

    Dream of mine to go one day... Would love to see a ceremony, regardless of who's inducted.

    Very worthy inductees, they indeed told some wonderful stories. Many have criticized the selection of Gossage, but he was a reliver when the closers closed for 2+ innings night after night, not the 1 inning spacialists of today. Different use of a closer, so those who try to compare him with the closers of today absolutely can not. Dick Williams, an excellent old school manager.
