someone brought this up in another article (a manager i think), but doesnt eliminating the neighborhood play negate slide reform rules? whats the point of eliminating excessive takeout slides if the infielder has to get in the way of the runner to touch the bag?

Me. Griffey is my all-time favorite next to Jeter, and my dad (diehard Mets fan) would love to be there for Piazza. We may make a weekend/overnight trip of it.

Father/Son Cooperstown trip
I just gotta find out the specifics in terms of the ceremony, but also actual HOF touring that weekend/day. Unfortunately with my dad's current health it may be tough to go for a whole weekend so if I could get both done in one day and just come home later at night I'm with it.

I went when Kirby Puckett was inducted with my family. I was only 13 at the time, so much different, but I'm strongly considering going up for Griffey.
Just a heads up, book your hotel NOW...don't wait, though it might be too late already.

I just don't think it would make sense for a team to lose a compensation pick for signing a player who had a QO attached to them. The compensation pick for another player leaving your team has nothing to do with the new player coming in. Maybe you move back a couple of spots, but I don't think it'd make sense to take the pick away.
That's how the system works tho.
In fact, IF Fowler did join Balt, we would gain a comp pick after Rd 1, but lose it for Heyward, and gain our 2nd Rd pick back.
So we'd lose our #1 for Lackey
And comp for Heyward.
Fowler stays, no comp pick, so it slides to 2nd rd.
It attaches to whenever your first two picks are. (Minus top 10 protection)

I won four field box tickets to any Houston Astros home game. Is anyone interested in purchasing a ticket. Will I be able to sell these tickets for decent $$$??
