I wouldn’t mind having that coin as a unique collector item. It’s like getting the 2000 Library of Congress Bicentennial bimetallic $10 coin made with gold and platinum, or more lately a silver eagle reverse proof coin.

The last time I checked baseball is making plenty of money and if the hall of fame needs the money the teams can chip in.

With all of the other worthy subjects that could get a coin we honor people that were paid to play with a ball.

Count me out on what is guaranteed to be another horrible design from the mint.

Remember that folks? Hey John McCain: Why don’t you walk down the aisle and remind Ms. Gillibrand about your “bold” initiative from 2 weeks ago? Yeah, he obviously forgot to put the new cover letter on his memo.
