After coming to terms with ending his one man filibuster against the extension of unemployment benefits and COBRA coverage, Senator Jim Bunning is turning his eye to an issue close to home with him: The 2010 induction class to the Baseball Hall Of Fame.
The outgoing Senator from Kentucky announced that he would object to the induction of the class of 2010 which includes “The Hawk” Andre Dawson, as well as legendary manager, Whitey Herzog.
Asked why he was turning his attention away from Washington and towards Cooperstown, NY, Bunning replied, “Look, the American people today have to budget and figure out how they’re going to pay for things. As far as I have seen, Major League Baseball has not announced how they intend to pay for the new plaques that are going up in the Hall. I will not support them just adding to their debt.”
When it was pointed out to Senator Bunning that his election in 1996 by the Veterans Committee did not contain a plan to pay for his plaque he angrily retorted, “Did Bruce Froemming ever throw a no hitter? No! Did Joe Brinkman throw a perfect game in the World Series? No!”
When notified of Senator Bunning’s new crusade to keep him out of the Hall of Fame, Andre Dawson said it was disappointing and wondered, “Why doesn’t Jim want to copulate me?”
