It even almost makes him qualify as 'dastardly'.

Brian (aka Snidely Whiplash)

If anyone looks to want to rip up any of those cards in a fit of anger, please contact me first. I will pay for postage.

Ryan Braun whenever he's eligible ....

Hal Chase, Pete Rose and Chick Gandil stand out for me historically.
Not sure about Gaylord Perry -- he was a roguish figure for sure but I think we are talking about something a bit more sinister here.
The worst PED offenders for me have to be guys who were proven to have used when it was against the rules and where the "proof" isn't a questionably sourced FBI leak of test results that were not intended to be anything official -- so guys like Manny and ARod and Braun -- who used his considerable resources to go after the poor guy who had to collect his samples (sort of like Lance Armstrong did) before finally coming clean when he was cornered into the truth. Next to these guys Bonds and Clemens are McGwire are second ballot Hall of Shame ... I would also leave the very first alleged PED player, Pud Galvin, alone.

I guess Carl Mays too although the story is complicated (great book called "The Pitch That Killed") and he wasn't that malevolent.

One of my least favorite things about the Baseball Hall of Fame is that they "induct" every past commissioner.

I think they'd all fit much more nicely here.

Maybe owners and umpires deserve the same treatment.

100% agree, Bart Giamatti was a salt of the earth human being and deserves enshrinement. If you're going to let self absorbed pricks like Bud Selig and Joe West in then you should damn sure let Joe Jackson in.

Man, screw that guy. Gets caught cheating, KNOWS HE DID IT, and tries to ruin the life on an innocent medical courier. Still ticks me off.

Mays is also strongly rumored to have thrown games, with his own manager foremost among the accusers.
