There will always be baseball writers. And they have already established a way of distinguishing the truly deserving from the less deserving hall of famers: the former are elected by the writers, while the latter are enshrined by the veterans' committee. I wouldn't mind it if they separated the plaques of those who were elected by the writers from those who were elected by the veterans' committee. But no one is going to boot out anybody, unless it is shown that the player "threw" games, took steroids, and encouraged children to chew tobacco.
