You are missing the point. You will ALWAYS have a better chance when you "come clean" instead of hiding the garbage that incriminates you. Petitte, Rose, etc....who cares about the name...the public isn't stupid and is tired of being deceived regarding any issue. I can remember Tom Seaver in a rouge interview standing up at a podium asking the American public to forgive Pete Rose for his wrong doings. Unfortunately, in the face of denial there could NEVER be forgiveness.

Marshall, I myself believe Rose should be in the Hall of Fame for his accomplishments. If Rose and Jackson are out, then Cobb and Speaker should have also been banned for their gambling exploits (I believe Landis was afraid to nail those two legends to the wall due to the 1919 scandal, figuring it would be the final nail in the coffin and destroy the game forever). Bottom line is I am just trying to make light of how millions of others may feel.
