Baseball Hall of Fame President, Petroskey, Resigns

MLB.com article via Watchdog blog.

• P.S. Aside from whatever finally prompted the separation, some have allowed themselves to fume over the fake idea that Petroskey preempted Tim Robbins from a Hall of Fame occasion because of Robbins' "stand on the war." Handy but ignores larger facts:

Robbins had shown a pattern of being invited to grand ceremonies and hijacking them to promote his personal views. People in their seats were in effect held hostage to an ungracious, disrespectful lout. Many watching from home seek entertainment programs for escape from the horrible news of the world. Robbins assumed something else--that they were dolts and needed to be educated by him.

• If he apologizes for his behavior and shows over a period of years he's changed his ways, then consider inviting him to a HOF function. You don't showcase persons who are rude, disdainful and disrespectful in a place that's supposedly hallowed and special. (sm)
