Did You Know?
That the weight-lifting sport was so corrupted by steroids use that after the Soviet Union fell, the sport threw out ALL the prior records.... they might want to consider that for anyone found using steroids and set a record in other sports...
Being Inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame is More Than Just Stats
Must be a good citizen too…

Did You Know?

Did You Know? José Conseco tried to attend yesterday’s Mitchell press conference but was denied and in fact thrown out.

As for the Baseball Hall of Fame, this is how that works-it’s not just a matter of statistics:
A little background on Hall of Fame voting . . . Baseball writers with 10 consecutive years in the Baseball Writers Association of America receive a ballot for the Hall of Fame .Less than 600 of the nation’s sportswriters cast votes for the Hall of Fame each year. They vote on players when they first become eligible for Cooperstown. Players can only get into the Hall through their vote for their first 15 years of eligibility. After that, they go on to the veterans committee, which pretty much doesn't vote for anyone these days.Sportswriters are allowed to vote for zero to 10 players each year. Blank ballots are counted as a vote and included when determining whether a player received the needed 75 percent. Sportswriters receive the ballots in the mail each December and have until Dec. 31 to return them.

Eligible Candidates -- Candidates to be eligible must meet the following requirements:
A baseball player must have been active as a player in the Major Leagues at some time during a period beginning twenty (20) years before and ending five (5) years prior to election.
Player must have played in each of ten (10) Major League championship seasons, some part of which must have been within the period described in 3 (A).
Player shall have ceased to be an active player in the Major Leagues at least five (5) calendar years preceding the election but may be otherwise connected with baseball.
In case of the death of an active player or a player who has been retired for less than five (5) full years, a candidate who is otherwise eligible shall be eligible in the next regular election held at least six (6) months after the date of death or after the end of the five (5) year period, whichever occurs first.
Any player on Baseball's ineligible list shall not be an eligible candidate
What does it take to become “ineligible” in MLB? Misconduct for one… MLB’s “Rule 21” explains how…

Baseball’s “Rule 21” Posted in Every Baseball Locker-room states among other rules, this section;
(F) OTHER MISCONDUCT. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as exclusively defining or otherwise limiting acts, transactions, practices or conduct not to be in the best interests of Baseball; and any and all other acts, transactions, practices or conduct not to be in the best interests of Baseball are prohibited and shall be subject to such penalties, including permanent ineligibility, as the facts in the particular case may warrant
