Shawn ChambersI truly believe that Joe Jackson belongs in the Hall of Fame.
For me, it's not really a matter of guilt or innocence. I can live with the fact that a mortal man made a grave mistake. I can live with baseball banning him for life. I CAN'T live with baseball banning him beyond his life and long into his death.
Selig should do the classy thing and reinstate all of the Black Sox players. Give Buck Weaver's spirit some peace for chrissakes!! And don't do some cheeseball 100 year Black Sox Pardon-Extravaganza...
I can live with Pete Rose being banned for life. He, too, belongs in the Hall though. Upon his death, he should be immediately reinstated and eligible.
I think Hal Chase belongs in the Hall. He apparently IS eligible and was never banned from baseball. Why no ballot appearance since the first couple??
