Per this article, MLB has changed its stance on the ineligible list and people on it are removed once they pass away. This could mean that Shoeless Joe, Buck Weaver, and Eddie Cicotte would become HoF eligible.

For some reason, the article I saw about this let us know what sexist and racist POS Aubrey Huff thought about this. His opinion may shock you! (It won't)

Huff should've got in trouble for wearing a thong in the clubhouse even if he wasn't around women.

Someone should have just kicked his ass.

Didn't get to read the article but I hate that idea.

Buck Weaver is also only known because of the scandal anyway. His career is completely unremarkable.

correction: america tourists who spend all of their vacation time in one amsterdam neighborhood like the netherlands for its hookers and weed. i like its leading present and historical role in science and technology and art and architecture and trade and agriculture... and the beer.

most games start at 1am here. i know other phans in europe manage to watch at least the phils day games (7 or 10pm) start times, but i don't tolerate sleep loss well and have never been able justify paying for a game video streaming package just for the few day games that don't conflict with other activities. even back in the states i always was more of a radio guy.

Amsterdam might be the only place in the world I would go just for the museums. Not a hooker man myself, and the weed can be acquired in many places outside amsterdam these days.

The Blue Jays announced a new powder blue alt uniform with a navy cap, and they're swapping their primary and secondary/simpler logos like other teams have done recently, making the bird head w/maple leaf the new primary
