I must have got Baseball's Hall of Fame mixed up with the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. There it doesn't matter even if you were/are so drugged up that you died/die of an overdose; Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison, heck even Tom Petty. I loved their music! It doesn't matter to me that they are elected to the RnR Hall of Fame. I guess one could correlate the 2 HoF's; i.e., Play in stadium's, charge admittance to see them play, appeal to young people, performances broadcast on TV and radio, etc. etc. etc.
There is one MAJOR difference: MLB bans the use of illegal drugs! What is it people don't understand about that. Why don't we ask Tatis Jr. how he's doing right now?
