We are naming stuff after a child molester and rapist today. What's the difference? No one is perfect, where do we draw the line? It is becoming common to attack people who are dead and can't defend themselves. Al Stump wrote things about Ty Cobb that we now believe were untrue, but you can't put the genie back in the bottle. What ever happened to decency and letting the dead rest in peace?
As far as kicking people out of the HOF, not going to happen. Just look at O.J. Simpson. These guys were elected for their on field performance. If we start putting moral judgements on players, the HOF is going to have a lot of empty wall space and empty showcases.
