2018: Baines and Smith in The Hall of Fame

We just learned that Harold Baines and Lee Smith were elected to Baseball Hall of Fame.  

Baines and Smith spent much of their careers with the White Sox and Cubs, respectively.   On the field, Smith finished with 478 saves in 1,022 appearances and Baines was a good hitter:  .289 average, 2,866 hits, 384 HR, and 1,628 RBI in 2,830 games.

Around Texas, we remember that Harold Baines was traded here in 1989 for a young outfielder Sammy Sosa.

Congratulations to both!
