MIKE MUSSINA RUMORS & GOSSIP

This Date In Royals History: April 5, 2001
2001: Paul O’Neill’s first-inning home run was the only run Mike Mussina needed, as the Yankees downed the Royals 1-0 at Yankee Stadium in New York.

If Mike Mussina had been an Atlanta Brave, he'd be going into the Hall of Fame
Wait a minute. I know what you're thinking:I'm gonna piss and moan about Yankee-hating Gammonites in the Pooperstown vote. Well, you are wrong. How dare you. Nothing, NOTHING, could be further from the truth. This isn't about Mike Mussina being blackballed because he was a Yankee. Nope. He lost because of the F Troop-sorry state of the Orioles during the 1990s. If not for the wretchedness...

The Hall of Fame’s Standard, and Its Biggest Problem
With the baseball off-season moving into a little bit of a lull, the next few weeks of baseball writing often take on a decidedly Cooperstown-centric swing. Hall of Fame ballots have been mailed to the 600 or so voters, and they have until December 31st to decide how to fill those ballots out, so those of us with some semblance of a platform usually try to influence the voters while...
2013 MLB Winter Meetings Hall of Fame debate
The big question surrounding Roy Halladay's retirement is whether he is deserving of the Hall of Fame? If you select Roy Halladay, shouldn't the same honor be bestowed on Mike Mussina and Andy Pettitte?
Mussina is on the ballot for the first time along with (should be) shoe-ins; Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, and Frank Thomas. Depending on who you speak with, Mussina falls into...
