I must start by saying I'm not unbiased about this.
This isn't because I'm friends with Mike Mussina or anything like that. I've had few conversations with the man. I'm not unbiased because my formative years as a baseball fan (and in particular an Orioles fan) happen to line up with some of the newly elected Hall of Famer's best and most significant seasons in orange and black.
Mike Mussina was the best Oriole on some very good Orioles teams during a time that helped define my fandom. His election to Cooperstown is a joyous occasion for me as a fan. It is a moment that has been long overdue and should be greeted with great joy by all Orioles fans.
