The Dugout favorites Jim Thome and Manny Ramirez have taken a break from danging dingers together on the playoff-bound Los Angeles Dodgers to travel the country and possibly fictional dreamscape lands to reuinte the 1997 Cleveland Indians and right the wrongs of the 97 World Series. The quest is almost complete, and now we learn what happened in the MLB Journeyman Chatroom, and where the dynamic twosome are headed next.

Part 6 of The Dugout: It's Tribe Time Now is after the jump.

Welcome to part five of our apparently 30-part series about how Jim Thome and Manny Ramirez play for the same team, just like when they were part of the 1997 World Series challenging Cleveland Indians.

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4

Once you have caught up on the previous four parts, remember that none of this is newsworthy and that we've ingratiated ourselves enough at Fanhouse by this point to occasionally make the casual reader here to discuss how he feels about Prince Fielder's baseball-disgracing shirt tuck think we are on crack. Is this a real chat??? Part 5 of 30 is after the jump.

On Sunday, Rickey Henderson will be inducted to the Baseball Hall of Fame. We're happily anticipating the induction speech of one of the most colorful players in the history of baseball, sure. It never seemed, though, that he would ever stay retired long enough for us to drag him into the Hall.

We've caught the thief, but we all know he's good for another thousand stolen bases. Saturday's Dugout is after the jump.

On January 12th, Major League Baseball will announce the newest round of inductees to its Hall of Fame. Some candidates, like the guy you see here on the right, are shoo-ins. Others, such as Dan freaking Plesac, are shoo-outs. But between these two is a selection of guys who deserve at least passing consideration, or at least, an expression of, "Oh yeah, I remember that guy from RBI Baseball."

We'll review the merits of every candidate on the ballot. In Part One, The Dugout vets Harold Baines, Dan freaking Plesac, Bert Blyleven, and Rickey Hennerson Rickey Hennerson Rickey Hennerson Rickey Henderson. Read it after the jump.
