Seeing a few different projected ballot charts, it appears Bagwell, Raines and Pudge will be HOFs this year, with Vlad and Hoffman on the bubble

President Obama pardoned Willie McCovey for his tax evasion:
McCovey, along with fellow Hall of Famer Duke Snider, pleaded guilty to tax evasion in 1995 and received two years probation and a $5,000 fine. The charge stemmed from unreported income received from memorabilia shows.
Snider died in 2011.
"The only thing I'd like to say is, well, I've always tried to do the right things," McCovey told a federal judge at his sentencing hearing in 1996, according to The New York Times. "I have never willingly tried to cheat the government, and it's one of those things that was overlooked at the time and I do accept responsibility for it."

This may or may not belong here but I noticed last night that the Indians are 12-1 to win the WS this year; that seems worthy of a $100 flyer.

I know I'll never have as much confidence in anything as that guy has in that net.

Nice.
There's a eponymous documentary about the fastball which looks back at the fastest throwers of all time. Nolan Ryan was measured at 108 mph supposedly. Considering the last pitch he ever threw (at age 46) was 98 on an injured elbow, I believe it.

Off flat ground, with a running start. Still impressive.

I'd assume next year is a four member class: Vlad, Hoffman, Chipper, and THOME. Edgar will probably be upper 60s/low 70s.
