5 guys getting in is a pretty big class historically. Or is that what you’re saying (hard to tell with your first sentence)?

I’m not sure them not actively changing the rules of induction to get them in = definitively not wanting them in.

While the pitcher may only play in half of the game (offense/defense being the two halves), they have an incredibly outsized impact on that portion. Actually, in a given game, the pitcher impacts the result more than any individual position player by far.

I saw remove any limit to the amount of players you can vote for in a given year and make all players eligible for election for one year. You are either good enough to be voted in or you aren’t. it shouldn’t matter if its year 1 or year 9 of your eligibility. Nothing about that player has changed in the 15 years…

On your last part, not changing the ten player maximum, which has been in place since (or at least nearly) the creation of the HOF, doesn’t seem like actively trying to keep those guys out. It’s more so just not actively changing the rules to help them.

I don’t think the biggest of big hall folks would even say Baines should be in.

On the other hand, if they win, that means Brady is 1-3 vs the NFC East in the Super Bowl. Just goes to show how much of a sham the AFC is. And that’s always a good thing.

To the blazer question:

Exactly. Also, apparently she came to them. Why do they have to offer her anything?

Some major sloppiness in this post:

Well, thank you for clearing that up.

Who knows...

It’s hard to say (particularly for certain), but I read this as “talking to” and “texting with” in the form of informal courtship (that last phrase makes me sound much older than I am, but don’t know what to call it). I know that when I was a little younger, about 5 - 7 years ago (before getting engaged/married),…

Also, make sure it’s a “fell swoop,” rather than a “fail swoop.” ;)

Does this really qualify as a “lifehack?”

Ok, but income from those revenues are still subject to corp. income tax. They aren’t “tax-free” as you stated.

Sometimes I do. It’s a long, rainy winter in the Pacific Northwest. :(

What makes you think that those are tax-free ?

Haha, love this reply
