Now that there is a new commissioner, he doesn't have to follow $elig's precedence.

that the home run "leader" will never be voted into the Hall of Fame.

Think of it ... he "owns" two of the most hallowed hitting records in baseball. Yet he's never going to get the votes.

it was because they made the determination that what he was obstructing wasn't relevant to the steroids case. Not the exoneration he was hoping for, but better than nothing. There's just too many steroids guys to keep them all out, he'll let the writers decide on the HOF.

“Today’s news is something that I have long hoped for. I am humbled and truly thankful for the outcome as well as the opportunity our judicial system affords to all individuals to seek justice. I would like to thank my family, friends, and all of you who have supported me throughout my career and especially over the past several years. Your support has given me strength throughout this process and for that, I am beyond grateful. This has been a long and strenuous period in my life; I very much look forward to moving beyond it. I do so without ill will toward anyone. I am excited about what the future holds for me as I embark on the next chapter. Lastly and certainly not least, I would like to thank my legal team for their hard work and diligence on my behalf.”

I just puked out my gallbladder.
