So I open up my ESPN app, looking for start times of the night's games, and I see a big headline saying Pete Rose and "Shoeless" Joe Jackson have had the lifetime MLB bans lifted.
My first thought: Way to go MLB, lifting bans on dead people.
My second thought: I thought betting on baseball was an enteral sin that could never be forgiven?
My third thought: How does this impact players who deserve to be in the Hall of Fame more than the likes of Harold Baines, David Ortiz, and Don Sutton, and aren't in because Baseball writers are sanctimonious?
I have been operating with the notion I will not take the Hall of Fame seriously until: Pete Rose, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemons, and Manny Ramirez are in it. I have never had any opinion on Jackson.
What does this ban lifting do in practical terms?
