Will Joe Make It?
The Veterans Committee can make a smart decision tomorrow and put Joe Torre into the Hall of Fame. Veterans are asked to consider an individuals "contribution to the game" and Torre clearly has made plenty. Over 2,000 hits as a player and over 2,000 wins as a manager are pretty impressive numbers. Plus, there are few better people in the game.
They announce their decision tomorrow at the Winter Meetings.

I assume the veterans comm. can ignore the fact that he hasn't retired, right?
Wouldn't this honor make more sense when he is retired?

Yes, your eligibility is based on when you retire as a player.
As to your other point, I think he has waited long enough.
