2012 Hall of Fame Ballot Announced

Wednesday, 30 November 2011

Here is the ballot for the 2012 Hall of Fame.  4 former Rockies are included in bold. *CORRECTION* 5 former Rockies (I forgot Womack's short stint).

Jeff Bagwell
Jeromy Burnitz
Vinny Castilla
Juan Gonzalez
Brian Jordan
Barry Larkin
Javy Lopez
Edgar Martinez
Don Mattingly
Fred McGriff
Mark McGwire
Jack Morris
Bill Mueller
Terry Mulholland
Dale Murphy
Phil Nevin
Rafael Palmeiro
Brad Radke
Tim Raines
Tim Salmon
Ruben Sierra
Lee Smith
Alan Trammell
Larry Walker
Bernie Williams
Tony Womack  
Eric Young

I think Barry Larkin makes it this year as a solo act, but big gains for Morris and Raines (and hopefully McGriff and Walker) will eventually get them enshrined also.  Bernie Williams is probably the only first timer that will see a second ballot.


Who (if anyone) do you think will make?  Who should make it?

Les Rita Mitsouko

One of the most successful musical acts of the 80's, Les Rita Mitsouko was a French punk, rock, synth pop, and jazz group formed by guitarist Fred Chichin and singer Catherine Ringer. Their name, "Rita Mitsouko" comes from the combination of Catherine's childhood friend and the name of a meal they shared in a Japanese restaurant.

They began performing in the early 80's in alternative spaces like the Palikao, a squatted factory building in Belleville, Paris.

The second single on their first album, "Marcia Baila, rose to number 2 on the French record charts. 

Andy, the first single from their second album "The No Comprendo".

They made seven albums, the last of which was released in 2007 just before Fred Chichin died from cancer. 

As well as winning Best Album of the Year for "The No Comprendo", best Video of the Year for "C'est comme ça" among other awards, in 1994, their video for the song, Y'a d'la haine (there is hate), won "Best video of the Year" at the MTV Europe Music Awards. 

Y'a d'la haine

Gros bisous de musique original et a bientôt!


Love, Charley
