Brett was an asshole to me, a small child eating at his table, he was an asshole to the staff, he was an asshole to people outside the restaurant waiting, and basically was an asshole to everyone and everything. This would have been about 1980, but it could have been 1979. It was sometime before the Phillies world series in 80.
I still loved watching him play after that, but I didn't like him as much. I would still like to know the names of the voters who didn't vote him in the HOF. Like, 98% is crazy, but realistically he should have had 100%.

I’ve heard so many stories like this.. George being an asshole to kids and people… Tarnishes his legacy as far as I’m concerned… Doesn’t take that much energy to be a good guy..You would of thought he would have learned that lesson because of his father being such a jerk..
Mahomes already surpassed him as the greatest professional player ever in KC.. Class on the field and off..
