For once, the longstanding errors get fixed and fortunately the cheaters who desecrated the game don't get rewarded again this year.

"Did they feel like Hall of Famers while active? Probably not."

Actually, yes, Scott #Rolen did, to anyone who actually follows baseball closely, & we really should stop this nonsense

Here's another way to "put #Rolen's 70.1 WAR in perspective." If he'd played for the Yankees & had ~the same career statistically, he'd be a near-unanimous first ballot Hall of Famer like...Derek #Jeter 👇 🧐 🤷‍♂️

Like Alan Trammell & Lou Whitaker, Rolen's only mistake was not playing in NY
