This is an absolute rout.

The Beastie Boys, Donovan, Guns N’ Roses, the late Laura Nyro, Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Small Faces/The Faces are now in the Rock & Roll HOF.

Ron Santo got into the baseball HOF finally, a year after he passed away.

I echo every Cubs fan’s comment: “Shoulda been done while he was alive!”

But, it’s a long overdue honor and every Cubs fan should be overjoyed!

They are both strong teams and have a history behind them.  This final should be a wild affair.
