Breaking: Tim Mead to be named President of the National Baseball Hall of Fame

[Stradling]

Rose did the one thing that gets you banned and lied about it for 20 years.  

[Tank]

cool. now i can say that the guy in charge of the HOF is someone that i once pissed off.

 

** i asked him a question at spring training about being somewhat releived that mathis was no longer with the team. he didn't take it well.

Raise your hand if you've ever been to a summer or spring fanfest and witnessed Tim Mead give a State of the Angels address for 30 minutes, followed by a 30 minute Q&A with our group? Some of the best times as a website that I've encountered over the past 15 years. I'm definitely going to miss this.

Tim Mead is a class act. He’s been a guest speaker at the booster club on numerous occasions. Tough shoes to fill for sure.

Ive been lucky enough to have a few occasions to talk to him. By far and away one of the nicest guys Ive ever come across. 

Congrats to him! Sad loss for Angels baseball, though.

Sweet bouncing Buddha, I was fat!  That was 35 lbs. ago.

So happy for Tim ... so bummed for us.

Perfect set up to make my point.  Your post suggests you are interested in keeping him out of the Hall to punish him personally.

Of the people that do not want Rose in the HOF, some think he isn't worthy because of his actions and others think he was worthy but want to keep him out to punish him for what he did.

To me anyway, it isnt hard to identify the the agenda to personally punish him as a contamination.

OK, this is a thread about Tim Mead and I would like to keep it that way. 

Create another thread about your discussion. Thanks!

you should probably start a separate thread to talk about that.

This was the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread. Going to miss Tim at those type of functions, but what a great gig for him! Well deserved.

[tomsred]

A great job for a great man!  Best of luck to you Tim.

[Blarg]

Wait, Trout wanted to be a 66er all along? 

[Slegnaac]

Couldn't happen to a more deserving man!

I had the great fortune to have been in the front row for two of the Spring Training events where Tim took time on his Sunday morning to talk with us. 

His sharing of the journey he took to the Angels  is such an inspiration.  And now he has a new chapter to write in the journey.

The Hall will be fortunate to have him as President.

Summer Fan-Fest here I come!

Here's part of the presser in the dugout this afternoon with Tim Mead. 

 

 

[ScottT]

Got home from the game and watched Tim Mead's interview with Victor Rojas and Mark Gubicza.    Good stuff.

let me add my belated congrats to a good guy Tim Mead who has been a rock for the Halos franchise over the years and always a class act.

He has been very good to AngelwWin.com from the early years on --

My first reaction when I heard the news was - RATS , he's leaving us !!

But upon reflection, he's been with the Halos for some 40 years plus - longer than anyone else I'm willing to venture -- he's now 61 years old --this is a new challenge and a career topper - a dream job to protect and maintain a hallowed institution.  I am very happy for Tim Mead, he's been a HOF guy to us and he deserves this HOF opportunity.

And, you can be sure, they'll be getting the MIKE TROUT plaque and HOF location all set the right way for a guy who --if he does not get hurt- will find his name among the very top players of the game - Ruth, Mays, Aaron, Griffey Jr., Clemente, TROUT.

Congrats Tim Mead. 

[disarcina]

thanks for posting the impromptu press conference remarks there,

appreciated seeing/ hearing that - I had missed it.

loved the comment at the end about Don & Charlies closing in Scottsdale after Spring Training this year,

Our group made one last trek to Scottsdale specifically to have one last round of dinner and drinks at  Don & Charlie's -- Spring Training in Arizona just won't be the same,.

This is ‘Merica. If you’re a metric guy then move to Europe.

 

 

Oh and congrats to Tim Mead.
