SocraticGadfly: Top blogging of December

Top blogging of December

As normal, not all posts were from last month, just the most popular.

No. 1? Me calling out the Cooperstown veterans committees for choosing the likes of Jim Kaat, Tony Oliva and Gil Hodges for the Hall, among others.

No. 2? My old 2014 post about the "debate" between Ken Ham and Bill Nye the Science Guy, aka Bill Nye the Attention Whore, took off midsummer last year and has trended since.

No. 3? From 2019, how the Genetic Literacy Project doesn't always get it right, certainly when it goes beyond genetic literacy itself, like with the relative UN-healthiness of the Impossible Burger.

No. 4? An old blog post about disgraced and canned Lancaster, Texas, school superintendent Larry D. Lewis sprang to life as neighboring DeSoto ISD named him the interim super. 

No. 5 is even older than No. 2. It's about a Google dustup with China, coming even before the rise of Xi Jinping Thought, which makes Google's "do no evil except capitalism" even more relevant today.

No. 6 is related to No. 1. It's my detailed look at Gil Hodges' lack of a case

No. 7? Sorry St. Louis Cardinals "Best Fans in Baseball," but Adam Wainwright was never robbed of a Cy Young and would not be a HOFer even without his injuries. Here's the reality.

No. 8? My detailed take on Tony Oliva's lack of a Hall case.

No. 9? Will Zion Williamson actually play for the Pelicans this year? I lean no.

No. 10? Though not as egregious as Hodges or Oliva, Minnie Miñoso is also not a HOFer.
