RIP Hit King

I’m surprised it didn’t start putting lyrics to Afternoon Delight in there.

 

Put him in the Shoeless Joe Jackson HOF annex.

 

Pedo hall of fame.

 

Johnny Bench said that Joe Morgan was the best baseball player he ever saw.

 

And in a different era, Tony Gwynn was the best hitter I've ever seen.

 

Both of these guys were class acts.

 

Don't know if these are genuine, but it said Pete Rose had a sense of humor with some of his autographs

 

This one definitely. He mentioned signing a bunch of balls that way on the HBO series about him.

 

His MLB ban has been lifter and is eligible for the hall of Fame as soon as 2028.

Shoeless Joe's ban has also been lifter.

 

And summer 2023 when this was all starting to be exposed the distraction the NFL threw out to the public… Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift suddenly grab headlines as a couple,
I love football and I’m back to watching a few NFL games but it’s so rigged / fixed it’s silly .
I remember when this news broke and how quickly the distraction was thrown out.

 

Fuck it at this point.

 

I think that's the right play. His fans, who did not participate, get what they want.

 

And that's the thing. Drugs, steroids, domestic violence. I get the subtle difference, but damn man, there are so many tainted players already in there (even then) that Bart Giamatti's pettiness is the only real reason. Bud Selig can suck it too.

 

Hometown bias right there.
