Right call that should have been done well before now. I don't believe Shoeless Joe should ever have been banned.
Agreed.

Pretty sure that Landis just wanted to make a point that superstars were not immune from punishment...

Hate it.

Rose has the on-field stats, but he was a horrible human being who never showed any remorse whatsoever. Doesn’t deserve to be in, and that’s a hill I’ll happily die on.

Can’t speak on Jackson, wasn’t around to actually know what happened or how he handled it afterward.

Rose though, grade-A trash human being.

Hate that they’re first eligible in 2028 also. Was hoping that day would be reserved to fully honor Yadi and Albert.

Love or hate Rose. Too many people liked him because of his playing days. Jackson, well it's the old saying. Time heals all wounds.

Yadi AKA MR " tattoo " is one of the most overrated players in the game, right up there with Ozzie Smith.

The two most valuable defensive players of all time are overrated? You a Cubs fan?

Both are top 10 all time overall at their respective positions. It's hard to overrate players that good.

I just assumed he’s a hater. Which is fine. When he threw in the tattoo line nothing else he said mattered after that.

Hater’s gonna hate, and Yadi’s headed to Cooperstown.

I’ve been bragging on Yadi since the BMB days, and will never stop.
