top guy in cooperstown. >> we have got a lot to get to. >>> developments in the chris christie story.>> first, as income and equality is one of the major political headlines of this new year, there is new data that suggests things continue to get better for the world's 1%. the international group oxfan finds the wealth of the 85 richest people in the world is equal to the collective wealth of the poorest 3.5 billion people on earth. as for the richest 1% they control 46% of the world's entire wealth and their estimate worth is $110 trillion. the study finds the percentage of wealth hailed by the 1% is increasing at a higher rate in the u.s. than anywhere else in the world. oxfan says it comes from the wealthy elite who have rigged the economic system in their faev favor. the report says a new gallup poll people are satisfied with the wealth in america and 67% are dissatisfied. now 54% of americans are satisfied with their chances of getting ahead through hard work. that is down 16 points from 2007. >> i saw the story. >> it's a great story. >> i wanted to lead with it today. i think t

robert in cooperstown, new york, uri with kitty kelley.booktv on c-span2. >> caller: in 1950 weight avocet the time a correspondent in chicago in life magazine sent me to los angeles to do a piece on the teco when the gangster who had recently gotten out of the neil allen federal penitentiary. i had known niki and i got it wrong with him. i spent a week with him. one night when we went out to dinner, and we walked in a restaurant and sinatra was sitting at a table. as mickey walks by, so not sure reached out like a funding cut the wanting a pat on the head. mickey walked by and snubbed him. when we sat down at the table, i asked mickey, why did you snob sinatra? he said he is not a man, he's not a man. what do you mean he is not man? i'm going to use an expletive deleted here. and mickey said well, johnny stomp and not go has been expletive deleted. sinatra said to me, i want you to get into stuff. i said me quite she was your wife. you are the man, you do it. he said he never did. i didn't know who stomp anonymous until a year or two late

i feel safe in saying that they will vote in more players to cooperstown than last year, when they didn't deem any candidates worthy for the first time since 1996. it's looking like a lot of guys will be deemed wordy this year. for the first time since 1936, five players have a real chance of getting the needed votes to get in. it is believed that first time candidates greg maddux and frank thomas are all shoo-ins. catcher mike piazza is less of a sure thing. pitcher jack morris looks to be short again. he got 68% last year. guys like clements, bonds, and sosa had no shot, despite great tats. they remain tainted by repeated ped allegation. >> the steroid era had a huge impact last year on hall of fame voting. no one made it in. it wasn't much of a surprise, considering so many first time candidates were linked to steroid use such asbury bonds, mark mcguire and sammy sosa along with roger clements and rafael palmero. mike piazza was never confirmed, but rumors were rampant enough that he addressed them in his autobiography saying: >> eligible is four time cy young award winner maddux and f

cooperstown, no new class last year. nobody was worthy of going to the hall of fame.cher greg mad did you say, no doubt. 355 wins. best pitcher i've ever seen. eight all-star appearances and a world series title. tom glavine, yes, same staff winning the world series in 1995. ten time all star. two cy youngs, 305 career wins. this i found surprising going in the first ballot. white sox slugger frank thomas, 521 homeruns. many much those came as a dh, two-time mvp. the big hurt goes in on the first time. the ceremony will take place in july. here is the bigger story. players tainted with steroid allegations, the all-time homerun leader, at one time the single season homerun leader and one of the greatest pitchers of this generation, roger clemens, barry bonds and mark mcguire, all saw their voting percentages drop. so the writers are speaking out. you do steroids, i don't care about your numbers, you won't be going on their vote. >>> i get to see my mom is the quote. those are the first words from a vietnam veteran. darryl waltrip presents him with a brand-new van. char

the trio will be inducted in cooperstown j null 27th along with bobby cox and tony lara rua and frank year after zero were inducted. craig biggio almost made it a four. glavine is excited to be inducted with a couple of fellow atlanta braves. >> it certainly would have been disappointing had i not gotten the call i think what would be disappointing is not to go in with bobby and greg. >> i'm excited. >> he'll get in on the old-timers ballot. >> did you think biggio would make it? >> the biggest shock is that 16 writers failed to include greg maddux on their ballot. >> wait. what? >> 16 writers. >> why? >> there are two writers who put j.t. snow on their ballot. come on. >> the writers feel like they to and the same thing we talked about off camera yesterday. who will not vote for jeter for the hall of fame? >> maddux, i don't know if is there a more remarkable pitcher since bob gibson. >> did you see the tom boswell piece? unbelievable. fantastic piece making the argument that maddux is the greatest pitcher ever and incredible piece. boswell at the top is for him. incredible. very ups
