The whole hall was poisoned by the 1950's anyway when it got watered down by cronyism.

Couldn't agree more.

Additionally the PED issue adds to the hypocrisy of the Hall. A. Why is it ok managers with inflated win totals and WS titles because of PED get a pass? B. Last I checked using PEDs were no more illegal in MLB as smoking marijuana until the recent past.
I think Rose, Clemens, and Bonds are all narcissistic assholes, but they belong the greats of the game.
