Speaking of the HOF, I read that MLB has decided that being declared "permanently" ineligible ends at death. This means Shoeless Joe (and eventually Pete Rose) should be eligible for the Hall. I don't have a problem with this as long as the suspension is mentioned on the plaque and not glossed over...

Just like you fixed Thyago and Germain Bautista among others. Like driving a Masserati with flat tires. 99 mph fastball with suspect control. More l...

We will then throw a fastball high and tight" Do this a few ti...
