This weekend Cooperstown, New York will add six more names to be forever enshrined in the baseball Hall of Fame. Highlighting the six inductees is Gregory Alan Maddux, who had a legitimate chance of being the first unanimous inductee voted in on his first ballot.

While listening to people debate which team is or is not the best team in baseball I learned that it is all about opinion. Who “Steve” likes is directly related to who his favorite team is.
