No, but the voters can judge the circumstances around each candidate and vote his or her conscience. Big Papi gets in, but Bonds doesn't. The HOF is basically a fraternity, especially when 7 of the 16 voters in the Era committee are living HOF players.
The public can independently decide whether election to the Hall is prestigious or not, hypocritical or not.
I don't see anything wrong with that.
