Say It Ain’t So: Commissioner Manfred Posthumously Reinstates Rose, Jackson, and Others Banned for Gambling
Reversing decades of precedent, the commissioner reinstated 17 individuals from the permanently ineligible list, a move that opens the door for Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson to be considered for…
"Given the extent to which Rose spent decades lying about his gambling and showing a lack of contrition — to say nothing of the allegations of statutory rape — Manfred’s decision is a bitter disappointment."

An addendum: Support democracy by supporting FanGraphs. Be a real American: Buy war bonds/a FanGraphs subscription.

After dinner tonight, I was flipping back and forth between player profiles and my #TGFBI draft. My wife leaned over and asked, "What are you looking at?"
My ten-year old: "He's looking at his Fantasy Graphs."
That's about right, kid. That's about right.

Some very cool work. Did you do anything to control for or adjust for the change when and how pitchers are drafted over that period?
