Then Joe Jackson needs to go in. My philosophy is if you are going to put in cheaters, you start with him. Then after another 50 years, you can put in Rose. Then after another 20 years, you can put in Bonds and Clemens.
The HOF standard was set with a guy who it was never proven that he actually cheated, but knew about those cheating. So, if you are keeping him out of the HOF for 80 years running, those actual cheaters should be held out at least that long. My opinion is that integrity should matter and all known steroid cheaters should be permanently banned from the HOF.
