I know those who argue that his lifetime ban will be lifted once he dies, but I've seen various mentions that his lifetime ban will be for the lifetime of organized baseball, meaning forever, like Shoeless Joe.<br /><br />When the Hall of Fame failed to admit Ron Santo until after he died, when he himself told them that if they didn't think he was good enough to have earned a spot of honor for his golden glove and rest of his career, they can forget it once he's too dead to see it, well, they lost me back then, so this is just more water under the bridge. We got our bronze statue outside Wrigley Field and the HoF can come polish it on their days off.mts1noreply@blogger.com
