-All the balls Rick Ankiel used in his playoff "outing".
-Ball Clemens tuned Piazza with, signed by both of them.
-Round the clock video screening for Giambi's Apologizing, but I can't tell you what I'm apologizing about video.
-Engraved under Bonds' name in the HOF "Can you please get my son in the shot".
-Corked Bat (priceless and definately needs it place).
-Nolan Ryan's Arm.

The curtains that couple in SkyDome neglected to draw

Caramon, you're heartless. The difference between Ankiel throwing wild pitches and Sosa and Bonds's alleged cheating is so obvious it's preposterous for me to point it out. Nobody minds humour, or attempts at humour, but there's a line.

Jeez.

Nolan Ryan's Arm? Help me out here ... what'ssat mean?

OK, upon reflection ... George Brett's pin-tar-laden bat would be something to put in the HOS.

Dixie Walker's petition to keep Jackie Robinson out of the league.

The ball that Cicotte used to hit the first batter of the 1919 series.

Andre Dawson's blank contract, that he was forced to sign by collusion during the 1986-87 offseason.

Albert Belle's corked bat, accompanied by the one that the ballboy tried to substitute in its place.

The cracked bat that Clemens threw at Piazza.

Vince Coleman's firecracker.

The original negative of "The Babe Ruth Story".

The spider-bases.

There are too many.

Any hair forced to be cut off by Steinbrenner's reign of terror.

Roseanne's singing of the National Anthem.

-How about Ty Cobbs' cleats?
-Jose Canseco's book
-The roster of the 1919 whitesoxs
-an x-ray of kerry wood's throwing arm
-and all the unsold copies of high heat baseball

...at least that's my interpretation.

Robin Ventura would probably have a different one.

- Randal Simon's sausage whacking bat
- What's left of the Randy Johnson bird
- Constant showing of the clip of Clemens and Jeter "acting" at the end of Anger Management

Several of the "Black Sox" uniforms.
Anything from the Federal league.
Ed Delahanty's New York Central train ticket(1903). Rumors were he was drunk and fell off the train into the Niagra River and died though some suspected suicide. His body was found 2 days later below Niagra Falls.

Anything related to when A-Fraud slapped the ball out of Bronson Arroyo's glove. That was a sad time in baseball.

- William Ligue's ticket stub
- The head of Kevin Mitchell's girlfriend's cat
- A uniform from one of the "Turn Ahead the Clock" games
- Major League 2
- The radical realignment plan

Mark McGwire's home run record!

Gitz I do realize it is heartless, but nonetheless it will stand as one of the craziest things to ever happen in baseball.

As for Ryan's arm, he was great in his time, but could have been even better... Its a crying shame hes not the best pitcher of all time.

Nolan Ryan's arm? That's dumb.

Rob Dibble threw as hard as Ryan and he didn't have one-tenth the career. There's a dozen guys who threw nearly as hard as
Ryan who had virtually no major leage career.

Ryan was a tireless worker who made himself a better pitcher as he got older.

The spit from Roberto Alomar

Rosanne??? How about What's his name? WIlliam Hung singing the national anthems? Maybe a CD of the greatest anthems for sale in the gift shop.

I would have included William Hung if he had sang the national anthems.

I believe he sang "Take me out to the ball game", which was humourous and not taken offensively.

Now if we want to get into the worst all time "Take me out" singers, its basically anyone that sings it for the Cubs (with exception to Ozzy whom we make exceptions for), therefore the list is endless :)

That should read "sung the national anthems".

Can someone explain this one to me? Will I regret asking?

According to Doc Gooden, one time when Mitchell was drunk and having an argument with his girlfriend, Mitchell took his girlfriend's cat and severed its head with a knife. Snopes has more and there are some doubts about this ever having occurred.

Ricky Henderson's deck of cards

I wouldn't mind seeing the upside-down Canadian Flag from 1992 included.

I'm not debating that Dudek. And I wasn't directly talking about his velocity either.

Ryan went up there trying to make every guy he could strike out. Which led to his disturbingly high walk ratio.

Ryan was a showman. If he wanted to he could have been the best pitcher to ever live with his stuff. Without even a shadow of a doubt.

But aside from his Career strikeouts... another milestone... Career walks with 2795 wont be touched either.

I believe Hung did sing the anthem, not in Toronto but in other parks, during his ten seconds of fame....glad thats over with.

You are just plain wrong about Ryan.

There's a little thing called command of your pitches. For the first decade of his career, Ryan didn't have very good control, although it improved slowly throughout his career and towards the end was about average for a big leaguer.

That shows that Ryan wasn't just a power pitcher and he did work on his craft. The fact is, he just wasn't one of those pitchers who had the gift of pinpoint control, so he had to settle for being merely a great pitcher.

So, no, I don't think Ryan could have been or should have been the greatest pitcher of his generation - for that you need excellent command of your pitches.

And the idea of strikeouts being a bad thing is ludicrous. Tell that to Randy Johnson or Pedro or Clemens or Koufax in their primes. There's no doubt they were trying to strike guys out just as much as Ryan was. They just had a little or a lot better command of their pitchers, and so kept their walks down.

The most similar pitcher to Ryan was probably Bob Feller; another fireballing workhorse who had control problems early in his career and had to settle for merely being great instead of the greatest of all time.

It would be stupid for a pitching coach to take Nolan Ryan and tell him to quit trying to strikeout guys and become more of a finesse pitcher. Some knucklehead said that to Dwight Gooden after his second year in the bigs and it didn't work out too well (I'm aware there were a lot of other factors).

Ryan had much better command then you are giving him credit for. You know that and I know that. Otherwise the guy wouldn't have the insane strikeout numbers that he was able to get.

Put Phil Niekro's vaseline jar with Joe's emery board as part of a Niekro Brothers Beauty Shop exhibit.

Definitely no Nolan Ryan artifacts in my Hall of Shame.

What would be there:
-monuments of Hal Chase and Charles Comiskey
-a replica of a late 70s clubhouse complete with lines of white powder (sugar, of course), and wax figures of Curtis Strong and a manager with his back turned

Another '70s artifact -- the Astros' late-decade rainbow uniforms.

Ryan had good enough command to be an All-Star in the '7os, but clearly his record-setting walk totals indicate he did not have "better command than anyone thinks."

In the same vein as Mike's comment (pun intended) how about a bunch of faceless wax figure baseball players with syringes in their arms and Bud Selig with his back turned? Oh wait, we wouldn't need to go to a Hall of Shame to see that, just any ballpark over the past 15-20 years.
It's never too early in the day for a little cynicism.

Another '70s artifact -- the Astros' late-decade rainbow uniforms.

I think there should be a whole room devoted to the Astros and their history of terrible uniforms.

The hair off Marg Schott's dead dog.

You can start off with 1969, then move onto the 70's, and swing around past the late 1980's:

Why, in the name of the Detroit Tigers' home whites, is there a number on the pants?

Though, as a Blue Jays fan, I shouldn't be talking about bad uniforms.
