What he has "gaps" in is his standards, not his critical thinking. And we might be better off saying it is YOU who has a gap in his standards.

The quote is not mine, but attributed to the Pulitzer panel. It would be their standards applied in determining that the book cannot be viewed as factual, not mine. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

An objective source had access to all the author's notes and other details used in writing the book, they did extensive research to determine the investigative and journalistic merits of the piece in consideration for award....

....and they came out of it with the opinion that the book could not be viewed as factual.

Oops...

Bonds will boycott the HOF if they display the ball with an asterisk.

They could still put him in the Hall against his will right? I mean he wont show up for the induction ceremony but otherwise why would the Hall care?

If he follows through with this then he just jumped a little higher in my book.

Them putting in the ball and not inducting him would be slightly hypocritical. Of course not quite since HOF committee determines the ball and BBWA decides HOF.

My point is, cant they still induct him? He doesnt have to be willing for them to do that, does he? They might have to modify their ceremony a bit, and its going to be a temporary black eye for them I'm sure, but they can still put him in. Or, at least thats what I'm asking.
