Event No. 27 of the #aroundtheworldin80sportingevents project took me to Toronto for the Hockey Hall of Fame. Here are my reflections of this visit.
Well, it’d take a good bit of time for me to move past Whitaker not being on it but Fernando is. Following a cooling off period, I’d say Sheffield & Kent. I love Murphy but he is Hall of Very Good (then again so was Baines). I’m having a hard time with the whole PED thing & Sheff is my olive branch.
