His numbers deserve it for sure.
However, he might have helped his cause if he hadn't spoon fed the lies about betting on baseball for countless years. Signing balls at Caesars and cashing in by writing his apology on the ball doesn't endear himself to the old boys club either.
Doesn't help that he's also pretty much known as a dick in many circles (including a guy who stiffed his book)
The best push to get him on the ballot was a couple years ago -- not much momentum there anymore.

Don't know what you're smoking: not only did he commit the capital crime of the sport, he lied about it for 15 years. Like I said before, Shoeless Joe was banned for life, and he's been dead for over a half a century. When that prick Rose has taken the dirt nap for that long, come back and we'll talk then...:nopityA: :nono5:
