A few years ago the Wall Street Journal reported he makes over $1 million a year selling autographs. I saw him a long time ago sitting in a memorabilia store in the Caesars mall with a line out the door. I thought it was pretty pathetic for him (despite the money) and the guys standing in line.

Your point is well taken. He retired in 1986. His lifetime ban was in 1989. Within the Hall of Fame voting period that occurs 5 years after retirement.
