Really what is the point of enshrining someone who has been dead for so long(I think in general this is true, it's nice the George Davis got in, but what good does it really serve other than to drive up his T206 prices, people who know who he is already know).

It won't change history, and he won't see any benefit. I understand your point, but even if he is elected it won't change the facts of his case and it won't change his legacy. It would be a symbolic gesture, and I am afraid an empty one at that.

And again his story is much greater, more well-known and infinitely more compelling because he didn't get in, than if he did. So him being in the hall really serves no purpose other than to ease the minds of a small population of deadball era baseball fans. Casual fans know who he is because of the scandal, and with that his accomplishments get mentioned too.
