Yeah, gonna be tough for him.

Played almost 20 years and was pretty consistent during that time leading to solid career stats (2,725 hits, 435 HRs), but his peak wasn't that great.
Unlike other borderline Outfielders, he never lead the league in anything, and the highest he ever finished in MVP was 4 (although he probably deserved higher).

The sign-stealing scandal with Astros is definitely a problem for him.

If het gets in, it may take a long time.

I guess it would be hard to excuse the cheating and then make excuses like he was playing against other cheaters during his prime.

He’s a compiler and the face of an outrage. He’s not going in in the short term, I think. He probably does eventually from a vets committee.

Unless they are suddenly going to let Jackson back into baseball, and the HOF, no one else known to have been involved in cheating should ever be allowed in, or even considered. The hypocrisy is disgusting otherwise.

The good news if he stays out is I don't have to deal with his ridiculous rookie card (or lack thereof) situation.

Haha I’m in a similar boat in that I got him at spring training when he was on Kansas City but have since lost the baseball.

95 SP > 95 Topps in this case.

That's what I have in the current collection but it's a minor league card, not sure I can justify that if he goes Hall.

To paraphrase Robert Duvall in Apocalypse Now, if I say it's a rookie card, it's a rookie card.
