Was this the right call?

 

[dano7]

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...

 

[finestkind]

Peter Rose should never be in the HOF. He was a manager who bet for or against his own team. Joe Jackson was suspended.

 

[Super Mario]

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.

 

[finestkind]

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.

 

[nosterbor]

Agreed.

Landis was an old di ck hea d a-hole and should have had his ass beaten daily!

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

You mean the Ozzie Smith who received over 97% of the HOF vote on his first attempt?

Yeah, you probably mean that one.

 

[nosterbor]

Yes, and who votes to put these players in. Baseball writers, heads mostly morons.

The voting process would be much better left in your hands, clearly.

 

[banjar]

You're gonna do what, now?

There's a new champion in the category "emptiest threat in the history of mankind".

he only bet on his own team to win. get it right squirt or I'll through your ass out the little round window on the side.

Bout time you woke up and smelled the coffee.

 

[joey12508]

Team like houston banging on garbage can should be banned, there championship taken away.
as for Pete it was a life sentence he is gone.. MLB is a joke.

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.

Trying to talk sense to @nosterbor on anything, and I mean anything, is utterly futile.

You might as well take a shovel out of your shed and beat yourself in the head with it. And I mean beat yourself in the head hard. Repeatedly.
