As has been discussed in a thread in around the horn forum, a player must be on the retired list for 5 consecutive seasons before he is eligible for the HOF...

This rule was waived only once in baseball history. For who??

oh believe me josh... you know exactly how you cheated...

You ask me on IM "what year was Roberto Clemente elected into the HOF?"

How was I supposed to answer that question?

You could have answered that by saying you didn't know and making me look it up. :)

what self respecting trivia guru would EVER admit to not knowing something like that?? Especially when it is about his favorite team?

Just say you can't tell me that. And you've never said "I don't know" to something you clearly knew the answer to? ;)
