Couldn't agree more.
Additionally the PED issue adds to the hypocrisy of the Hall. A. Why is it ok managers with inflated win totals and WS titles because of PED get a pass? B. Last I checked using PEDs were no more illegal in MLB as smoking marijuana until the recent past.
I think Rose, Clemens, and Bonds are all narcissistic assholes, but they belong the greats of the game.
