We got The Great Hall of Fame Shutout of 2013, a no-vote by the Baseball Writers Association of America that ensured induction weekend will be free of living beings for the first time in 50-plus years. Players accused (Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa) or known to have used performance-enhancing drugs whether through failed tests or admissions (Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro) predictably got much less support than their raw stats would have suggested.

Meanwhile, some more interesting and subtle stories were unfolding with several of the other players who fell short of the 75 percent vote mark needed for induction, starting with the one player who got the biggest screw job of all.

Right? This comes to us via noted Montreal enthusiast, helicopter photography expert, and connoisseur of '80s television graphics (and occasional baseball dude) Jonah Keri. Take it away, Jonah: "It's all here. Sweeping shots of the Montreal skyline. Glorious '80s graphics. Al Michaels, impressively, correctly pronouncing MON-treal. It was a different time, too. Olympic Stadium was packed (and not just for All-Star games). Gillette razors had a measly one blade, which I assume meant pools of blood spurted out of your face until the arrival of the Quattro. And ABC World News Tonight was sponsored by an exotic beverage called Natural Light."
