I guess Rose will get into the HOF now.

I really liked Shoeless Joe in Field Of Dreams. 

 

I don’t think he did anything bad. 

 

 

Pete? 

 

EDIT: I have to say that I don’t care.

What about the steroids guys like Sosa and McGuire?

It's a Festivus miracle!

I think it's about time. Heck, the way gambling punishments are going, particularly in NFL, pretty soon most gambling infractions will simply be a fine.

Might come in handy if/when the truth comes out on Ohtani. Currently, we’re supposed to believe that his interpreter racked up $5M in betting debts, that bookies kept taking bets from a guy making an interpreter’s salary… and Ohtani, out of the kindness of his heart, paid it all. OK 🙄.

Well they're not technically banned they're just blackballed 

 

Rose was not allowed to step foot into an MLB stadium let alone be on the ballot

Shoeless Joe Jackson should be inducted into the HOF TONIGHT in an emergency vote by the electors.

 

It's a total farce he was banned to begin with. Hits .375 in the series to lead players on both teams, hits the only home run in the entire series, commits no errors and throws out a runner at home plate and he is supposedly trying to "throw the series"??

 

In the history of people trying to to cheat, he must have been the worst cheater of all time of this was true.

 

On top of that there is no evidence he ever was in on it and strong evidence he actually tried to report it but was possibly manipulated due to being illiterate and lack of understanding what was actually going on.

 

I'm sure some would say what about Rose...well Rose admitted to doing the things he was accused of. Shoeless Joe never did any of the things he was accused of and was railroaded because he was on the team and made an example of by the Commissioner at the time, Kennesaw Mountain Landis.

They are eligible, just not getting enough votes. It will be interesting if they will Pete
