If nothing else, they leave a little thought in my mind that he definitely wasn't a saint by any means. If measured simply by his play on the field he should be allowed in the Hall - however society doesn't measure a person simply by that as evidenced by Bonds, McGwire, Clemmons, etc. etc.
Anyone else have thoughts on the series?

He was known for traveling with a 16 yo girl. He says he was only intimate with her in states it was legal. One of the girls he traveled with said it really started when she was 14. Because times have changed that part of his history seems to get forgotten or at least not brought up when everyone knew about it back in the day.
