I'm genuely shocked by this news. I never thought I'd see the day.

 

[Aragorn]

It doesn't mean anything. There's no obligation to put Rose or Jackson on any HOF ballots or vote for them.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Of course not. I'm just gobsmacked that they're even allowed to at all.

I think they said if they follow the rules, Rose wouldn’t even get voted on until December of 2027.*

*According to FOX19, here in Cincinnati.

Rich Hill, age 45, just got a minor league deal from the Royals. If he makes it back to the majors with them, they will be his 14th team.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

I could've sworn he was already a Royal at some point.

 

[Aragorn]

Baseball Reference says....

1. Cubs
2. Orioles
3. Red Sox
4. Indians
5. Angels
6. Yankees
7. Athletics
8. Dodgers
9. Twins
10. Rays
11. Mets
12. Pirates
13. Padres

Plus three additional stints on the Red Sox.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Huh. I was all prepared to admit I confused the Royals with the Blue Jays but that's a no go.

I guess I confused the Royals with the Dodgers.

 

[BillJ]

I think Rose may not have the straight shot to the Hall that most every commentator here thinks he does.

Are the folks that are keeping out steroids era cheaters going to bring Rose in?

2 different kinds of cheating, so it'll be interesting to see if they ignore one.
