00:00The baseball writers have done it again. They have officially turned Cooper.
00:05Cooper's down into the world's most hypocritical country club in the world.
00:10Yesterday, it was announced that Carlos Beltran and Andrew Jones
00:15are your newest Hall of Famers.
00:17Now, let's look at the resume. Let's start with Andrew Jones.
00:20Incredible center fielder, but he finished with 1,933 hits.
00:24The first hitter...
00:25...elected by the writers with fewer than 2,000 hits since, oh, Ralph...
00:30...heiner in 1975. The bar for entry into Cooperstown...
00:35...just got lowered to pretty good for a decade.
00:38And then we have...
00:40...and Carlos Beltran.
00:41Now, Beltran has all the numbers you want, right? 2,700...
00:45...and 25 hits, 435 home runs, 315 steals...
00:50...29th all-time in doubles. But here's the kicker, Donnie. Carlos Beltran.
00:55...was found to be the ringleader of the biggest cheating scandal in...
01:00...100 years in Major League Baseball. In fact, he was the only...
01:05...Astros player named in the report from Major League...
01:10...Baseball. He was a manager with the New York Mets and lost his job over it.
01:14And yet...
01:15...he gets...
01:16...entry into Cooperstown.
01:18And if Barry Bonds isn't...
01:20...in your Hall of Fame...
01:21...it's not a Hall of Fame. Save your money, folks. Don't go to Cooper.
01:25Cooperstown. The best players aren't allowed inside.
