What I never understood about this debate is Rose and Bonds and Jackson ARE in the hall of fame. If you walk though the hall of fame you will find display material about Bonds and Rose's achievements. (Presume the same is true for Joe Jackson.) But what you wont see is them in the hall of plaques. They are technically not "in" the Hall of Fame, but it's not like they are ignored. I always figured there was no mention of them in the building, like they were lepers who had to be shunned. That's not the case.

I have no issue with their place in baseball being acknowledged and someone making a judgment call that their character is not of a kind that they should be held forth on the most esteemed level of the sport. If you had a hall of fame that didn't Bonds and Sosa and the hold they had on the sport that year that would just be stupid.

In my opinion the Baseball Hall of Fame is watered down now with players with mediocre accomplishments being voted in

Don't disagree that there are some players who prob don't deserve to be there, but I think the phenomenon you describe is more about how players who came on the scene when we are grown men often don't seem as mythical and as magical and as fantastic as the players we watched as star struck 12 year old boys. My dad would watch baseball game with me and tell me that the greatest outfielders today couldn't hold a candle to Carl Furillo and as Duke Snyder. Because they were his childhood heroes.

Because it seems as if rules don't matter anymore and everyone gets a free pass?
