One of the more bizarre news stories in recent history is the devotion to an old Trump desire - making Pete Rose a baseball Hall of Famer. The American people have been worried about the ongoing inflated cost of eggs, JD Vance skiing, our image on the international stage especially concerning the Ukraine/Russia conflict and lots of other stuff. Most of which doesn’t revolve around baseball which isn’t even its regular season at this time.
I’m not going to claim any insight to the motivation for this rather arbitrary obsession. Others are discussing if it’s simply a vanity project and maybe leading to arbitrary official declarations like being declared the bestest President ever with the birthday being a national holiday, or even a more satisfying homage like renaming that body of water the Gulf of Trump. Which I’m kidding about since that last one is not a real thing I’ve seen. But it wouldn’t surprise me once the mistake is figured out.
Start small. You don’t just dive in and reverse popular ideas, you do some work priming the pump. And Qanon still has some lingering appeal, intimidating in a way by the totally unhinged and arbitrary target selection process. Talk about trans people having litter boxes in bathrooms enough - the repetition alone will help people talk up about how women’s health care isn’t so important. Goodbye Roe v. Wade decision.
And with that in mind - gematria, which was definitely a part of the Qanon melting pot of arbitrary target selection provides the perfect stepping stone to getting Pete in the Hall of Fame. And who knows what evil master plan will come to fruition from there. (Although I do have one in mind which we’ll get to near the end.
In honor of gematria grifting being rooted in sports betting it’s pretty easy to find something that stands out numerically speaking that really just highlights overwhelming mediocrity. And my search for starting small yielded the perfect candidate. And that person is Khris Davis.
Certainly a far better athlete than I could ever have dreamt of being. But look at that span from 2015 through 2018. A .247 batting average is hardly overwhelming. Not enough to make him a household name. But four consecutive seasons individually ending with a .247 average? That’s some serious Jesuit/Freemason/Illuminati/Space Alien/Reptilian Shapeshifter can’t be a coincidence rigging type of stat.
What is missing from the gung ho all in approach is taking a player like Khris and building him up gradually. Ease people into the conversation; start them off with the old tactic of when getting called out for the stupidity of the idea you can claim you are just joking. Normalize it through years of constant conversation loaded with every logical fallacy imaginable.
Step 1. Insist that you found evidence that Khris’s 2014 season was only 494 official at bats. Those 122 hits then equates to a .247 average. Don’t forget to cry out that every official statistical reference guide is run by paid shills.
Step 2. People are used to Big Pharma, Big Oil, etc… lobbying (definitely not bribing) for what they want. Get Big Balls to officially change Khris’s Career batting average to .247.
Step 3. If you can’t find some believable sounding 247 gematria connections, hang out on some sports decoder live streams for a little while. It’s really not that hard.
Step 4. Get Khris into the Hall of Fame. It’s unlikely steroids weren’t an issue unless he covered up his use by not having monstrous power statistics.
Step 5. Then talk about Pete. People are more and more finding that there’s never enough arbitrary signals of greatness and the world needs more and more cheaters getting ahead.
About that topic I mentioned earlier. Hall of Fame voting has always been kind of arbitrary, like some weirdo that didn’t vote for Ichiro on the first ballot. Why have voting at all when members can just be declared like a monarchy?
