When Random Jibberish is riding in a time machine way far into the future...

Goal!

 

WTF? How do you get MAGA out of 2 dead ballplayers being eligible for the HOF?

 

Jackson's guilt in the Black Sox scandal is highly debatable. He should have been reinstated a long time ago.

 

Those 2 became eligible for HOF because Trump just pardoned them

 

Shoeless Joe Jackson was never convicted of a crime, so, what was he pardoned for?

 

Yes, it appears that these things are related, at least in the case of Pete Rose.

I either heard it on a podcast, or my hubby told me that shoeless Joe was convicted of something and the pardon made him eligible for HOF. I didn’t research it any further.

 

Trump did not pardon either, though he mentioned wanting to pardon Rose.

Will he be moving to Los Gatos, Monte Sereno or Saratoga?

 

Meh, he's not great but he's not bad either. He's pretty good. I don't think that's a bad deal for the Niners. Now they can focus on the other parts of their team.

 

Speculation is that Trump pushed for Rose's reinstatement and that Manfred wanted to get on his good side because he's pushing for direct-to-consumer streaming service (under government scrutiny) and wants to avoid an end to their antitrust exemption. This is how things tend to work these days.

Manfred is nothing if not shrewd. He surely did not want to risk the president embarrassing him publicly on social media. He also likely did not want to get on Trump’s wrong side at a time when he is pushing for a direct-to-consumer streaming service for the league, and the migration from broadcast to streaming by professional sports leagues is under government scrutiny. Also, while Trump is known to be pro-management, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that, if sufficiently annoyed, he could threaten baseball’s antitrust exemption.

Indianapolis Colts' music-loving owner Jim Irsay dies at age 65

 

I don't know why I'm putting this here, but:

 

That guy in the middle is NOT Thurston Howell III (i.e. Jim Backus).
