What an NCAA rule change might mean for junior hockey in Sask.
Nov 18, 2024
Previously, WHL players were declared ineligible to play NCAA hockey in the U.S.
Oh, how I’d love to be able to listen in on the meeting coming up in December for baseball’s Hall of Fame committee.
The members will now take over the decision on whether or not steroid-era players like Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens deserve a place in Cooperstown.
On Tuesday, it was made official that David Ortiz and David Ortiz alone got enough votes from the 400-plus baseball reporters.
Meanwhile, Clemens, Bonds, pitcher Curt Schilling and slugger Sammy Sosa missed out for the 10th and final year of eligibility in the main vote.
They’re now thrown to a committee that meets twice every five years to decide if those not elected through the traditional method deserve a place. It’s made up of Hall of Fame inductees and other long-time baseball personnel and media. It’s extremely rare these committees actually vote players in.
So we wait. Will Bonds’ and Clemens’ own peers even want them in the Hall? I find that even more unlikely than the media vote that left them out.
But a Hall of Fame without them and Pete Rose is incomplete.
