When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?

While awaiting some idea from Scott Boras on a way to make rookie service time workable for both sides, remembwe Bobby Grich @Rochester
, 1970(.383/.503/.570/1.074), 1971(.336/.439/.632/1.071)...
Orioles won pennants each year. Mark Belanger&Davey Johnson were SS-2B. Grich played short, with Ron Shelton--Bull Durham, Cobb, etc.--at 2B. If Grich had played 150 G for O's those two years, would he be in the HOF?
They chose... poorly.

Roberto Alomar now has the dubious distinction of being the only Hall of Famer on the ineligible list.
Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle were briefly banned in the mid-'80s because they were hired as greeters at Atlantic City casinos but the Hall took no action.
Aside from the betting scandals of the 1920's, people put on the Ineligible List include:
Fergie Jenkins - drugs and being a cool dude, reinstated
Mays/Mantle - working at casinos and being cool dudes, reinstated
Rose - betting, should be reinstated but won't be because he's a dickbag
Steinbrenner - hiring a PI to investigate Dave Winfield, reinstated
Steve Howe - 7 drug related suspensions, reinstated
Marge Schott - being a shithead racist and sexist scumfuck, reinstated
Jenry Mejia - PED 3 strike rule, reinstated
Chris Correa - STL scouting director that hacked into HOU database, sentenced to 46 months in jail
John Coppolella - Braves GM that circumnavigated INTL signing restrictions
Brendon Taubman - HOU Assist GM/former McKinsey consultant creep who joked about DV to female reporters
