No he wont. He's not going to be unbanned. Even if he did get unbanned it's not up to MLB if he gets in the HoF. Neither MLB nor the Veterans Committee have shown any interest in celebrating him.
There's no "lifetime ban." It's a "permanent ineligibility." His death means nothing. [Reply]

Good memory! He also did something on a foul ball, but it has been so long ago that I forget.

That was just a good play. They were very fortunate. I can't blame them for that one. I can blame him for intentionally letting himself get hit by a pitch. [Reply]
