There will be no attempt to sugarcoat this one. Consider it a PSA, one of those public service announcements to bring attention to a worthy cause.

If you are a fan of baseball and its Hall of Fame, chances are you'll enjoy what follows. If you're one of those who thinks it's just a glorified museum ... well, chances are you'll turn the page -- or click another link. If you're in that second group, however, be advised that the museum is merely the building that houses the plaques. The Hall of Fame itself is as unique a fraternity as you're likely to find, and even the slightest connection has its rewards.
