ALFbrot posted:It gets waived down to six months after the death, not immediate. The rule was changed to "immediate" after Clemente died, and then later amended. Is that for induction or voting? Because votings in like 2 months.

Halladay would have been eligible after next season but I don't know if that means he's eligible for this year's class?

Your Taint posted:Was that the 1-0 game where Howard blew out his knee on the final out? Achilles I thought, but yeah. Leadoff triple by Furcal, RBI by Skip Schumaker of all people, then Halladay shut the Cardinals down until he got lifted for a pinch hitter. Carpenter pitched a CGSO, the commentary was emphasizing how they were good friends. One of the best pitchers’ duels I’ve ever seen.

Hall of fame voters made an exception for Roberto Clemente in his eligibility.

axeil posted:Could they grant a special waiver? It's not often you see a tragedy like this. The rule was put in place specifically for tragedies like this. They put in a rule that players that pass away can be immediately eligible 3 days after Roberto Clemente died. Seven months later, they amended that rule to say "maybe we shouldn't make it immediate" seiferguy posted:Hall of fame voters made an exception for Roberto Clemente in his eligibility. Again, not an exception. It was a codified rule change for Clemente. Then they amended it later that year.

seiferguy posted:Hall of fame voters made an exception for Roberto Clemente in his eligibility. There is also something different (not to take away from a tragedy) of a player dying in his career and one dying 4 years into retirement. e: Clemente also died literally en route to deliver disaster relief

drat, that's a bummer. He was my favourite Jay of all-time. I remember the best game I've ever seen live was Doc vs. Buerhle that took less than 2 hours.

Are flight data recorders and cockpit voice recorders required on small, private planes?

I only saw Halladay pitch one time, on Opening Day in Toronto in 2009 against Justin Verlander. I was expecting the pitchers' duel to end all pitchers' duels. They allowed a combined 13 ER, and the Blue Jays waxed the Tigers 12-5. RIP Doc

IIRC The A5 originally did plan to have a black box and flight recorder, but there was a huge uproar because people didn't want the company recording them in their private plane, so the idea was dumped.

I literally yelled "NO." I don't even know why it hit me so viscerally. It has to be the surprise factor. Dude was always one of my favorites. Also that Johan/Doc comparison is... something else. Can we just compromise and say best RHP and LHP?

The vast majority of small craft crashes don't ever get an official cause listed. This one's high-profile, but there's no chance it causes them to rethink their requirements, as it would require retrofitting expensive and occasionally bulky equipment into decades of small craft that really don't have a lot of real estate to spare

Roy was my favourite Bluejay. My volunteer club was inquiring with the Blue jays to do a Tribute to Roy sports celeb dinner. (fund raiser) this or next year. He was one athlete I would have really liked to have met. Oh well. We'll still have some Blue Jays and we can still do a tribute to him.

That plane topped out at about 100 mph. And it was also a boat. And there's only been about a dozen built so far. So long, sinkerman. You had the best pitching mechanics this side of Nolan Ryan.
