Reds Army - The Sports Museum is proud to announce this year's honorees for 'The Tradition'. Celebrating its 10th year, 'The Tradition' is the annual summer event that honors distinguished New England athletes and will be held on Tuesday, June 28 at the TD Garden.
Larry's gotta be a little pissed about this, right? I mean how is it that this thing has been going on for 10 years now and Larry is just now getting inducted? And along side Boston luminaries like Willie O'ree and Bobbi Gibb, not to mention the legendary Mike Lowell and Ty Law. I mean is Ty Law even retired yet? We sure his bloated ass isn't going to be in training camp for some team this year?
And yea, while this is just the Boston Hall of Fame, it might not be as important as Cooperstown or Springfield, but at the same time, it kind of is. I mean we've had an embarrassment of legendary players pass through town, we're not some podunk sports town like Cleveland or Houston or something.
All due respect to Ty Law and Mike Lowell, and whoever those other two guys are, I'm sure they were great too, but this is Larry Bird we're talking about. He should be inducted along side no one short of Bobby Orr and Ted Williams (posthumously obviously). I mean have these guys been elected yet? I'm just puzzled how Larry wasn't a first balloter, is there voting, or is this just some guys empty studio apartment where he throws Hall of Fame parties every year.

Thoroughly confused. I'm going to have to spend the afternoon figuring out who's in this hall of fame and who's yet to be inducted. Mike Lowell was good and all, but he spend what, 4, 5 years here? A professional hitter and one of the nicest guys to take the field, but then again so were Bill Mueller and Troy O'leary, and I'll be damned if I find their names in this Boston Hall of Fame.
