Default Joe Jax

I 100% agree with Grant.
There is no way this decision is going to be announced by the Museum if the decision is to reinstate Jackson. That is a MLB call all the way.

They will drum up some free PR for the museum, that's all. Should be about as effective as a 2 dollar discount coupon in the weekly Nickel Ads.

As far as whether Joe gets reinstated, I also agree that his popularity will not increase much if any if allowed in. Some of his fame comes from him being a great player but not being in the Hall.

It will irritate HOF Collectors (like me) who have been able to avoid collecting his astronomically priced cards since he's not in the Hall of Fame. Voting purely with my wallet, I am in no rush to have him added to my WL
