The end of the world must be near: King voting for Monk for the Hall

Hmmm...mayhaps I'll have to check hotel rates in Canton sometime in the near future. As shitty as the ballot selection has been for Art, I hope he gets in and I hope he has the largest supporting crowd ever for a HOF induction ceremony.

If he does get in I'm going to seriously consider taking that trip too.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA :food-smil

Was just about to post with the exact same headline.

Holy Crap!!!

Monk's in baby! The tide has turned!!! It's about f***ing time!

I think a lot of people around here would be right there with you, myself included.

This is great news and all, but it just makes PK an even bigger douche (if such a thing were possible). So, all of a sudden PK is going to be objective when he votes? F you PK -- you don't deserve to vote.

It sounds like Len Shapiro did some heavy lifting on this. He deserves a lot of credit.

All along King has said that he would keep an open mind about Monk, let's at least give him credit for that. He's come through on his word.

Carson getting in was clearly the catalyst for this change of heart.

Actually Matty, he was dead set against Monk for years until Shapiro called him on his BS after Carson got in. It was only this summer when he said he would have an open mind and ask around the league on his training camp tours for other opinons on Monk. A lot of credit goes to Shapiro and I'll give King credit for truly having an open mind and admitting he was wrong.. Now his other claim of 'having no more pull than anyone else in the room' should be refuted if Monk gets in this year after King publicly announced his support.

My bad on the dupe thread. I got so excited when I read it I nearly messed my pants. I think it's a real good sign - I think Dr. Z will likely follow suit. This could be Monk's year.
