There is no such thing as a "lifetime ban" in major league baseball... that's just a term that is thrown around whenever discussions of Pete Rose and Joe Jackson come up. |

What did Mays, Mantle and King George do to (temporarily) get on the ineligible list? |

Mays and Mantle when they were involved as glad handers for Las Vegas casinos (gasp) and Steinbrenner when he was convicted. |

I recall reading on several occassions that Ted Williams -- a member of the mighty Veterans' Committee that until last year decided which old timers, negro leaguers, Executives or Managers got in the Hall -- was in favor of Jackson's induction and arguing that since "Shoeless Joe" was deceased his "lifetime ban" had expired. |

Brian... it wasn't a "lifetime ban". Jackson was placed on the ineligible list. Inclusion on this list is permanent unless the player is removed. |

Ted Williams was THE person who enabled the Negro league stars to get in to the Hall and had he not died and if Bud "Asshead" Selig were exorcised from office, Joe would probably have had a chance of getting off the ineligible list. |
