I chose 40 years because that's how long it took for the tribes of Israel to get out of the desert after waiting for a generation to die off.

Personally I'm done bringing it up but if smack talk starts to fly that's coming out of the back pocket instantly.

On the other hand baseball never forgets. If baseball is going to remember that Lou Gehrig batted 175 runs in during the 1927 season despite Babe Ruth clearing the bases 60 times before Gehrig came to bat I doubt this scandal is going to be left alone.
