Six Great Players Make the Baseball Hall of Fame

The lasting impact of six former players was formally recognized on Sunday with their selections to the National Baseball Hall of Fame’s Class of 2022.

Gil Hodges, Jim Kaat, Minnie Miñoso and Tony Oliva were elected by the Golden Days Era Committee, and Bud Fowler and Buck O’Neil were chosen by the Early Baseball Era Committee in voting that took place in Orlando, Fla.

They will all be honored, along with any selections from the Baseball Writers’ Association of America ballot, at the July 24, 2022, induction ceremony in Cooperstown, N.Y.

This was the first meeting of both the Early Baseball Era and Golden Days Era Committees. The Early Baseball Era Committee considered candidates who made their contributions to baseball prior to 1950, while the Golden Days Era Committee considered candidates from 1950-69.

Los Angeles Chargers Beat New York Giants 37-21

The New York Giants received another butt whooping on Sunday. This time, it came at the hands of the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Giants were thoroughly decimated, 37-21, at SoFi Stadium on Sunday and were dropped to 4-9 on the season. There was very little positive to come from the game, although one bright spot was Saquon Barkley, who ran hard.

The Giants were without starting quarterback Daniel Jones again but were saved the indignity of starting the very green Jake Fromm when Mike Glennon cleared the concussion protocol on Friday.

It didn’t really matter. The Giants did not put up much of a fight. They can’t score on offense and now they can’t seem to stop the opposition from scoring.

Zach Wilson, Jets Offense Sink Gang Green, Lose To Saints 30-9

Zach Wilson and the Jets offense were expected to struggle.

And on Sunday, without their best receivers and rushers, combined with some pretty bad play execution from Wilson, the Saints beat up on the Jets, who lost 30-9.

This was an opportunity to see Wilson rise to the challenge of elevating the talent around him. That’s a quality quarterbacks will have to show throughout their career. It’s a tough ask, especially for a rookie quarterback, and Wilson could not do it.

Wilson went 19-of-42 for 202 passing yards, with zero touchdowns, and the Jets to just nine points.

The Saints’ game plan was not hard to figure out. They leaned on Alvin Kamara and the run game. The Jets could not stop it for large chunks of the day. Kamara had 27 carries for 120 yards and a 16-yard touchdown. QB Tayson Hill did not have to do much with his arm, but ran for two touchdowns, including a 44-yarder with 1:07 left in the game.
