The same way Mike Tyson was the best...without ethics being involved. The Black Sox made a grave mistake and paid dearly for it. So has Pete Rose, the all-time hit leader, in case you forgot. Ty Cobb was a racist, yet nobody ever has denighed his absolute greatness or place in the hall. These are all very different stories, gambling, fixing games, and hatred, but which is the worst of the three? The Black Sox and Rose belong in the Hall of Fame, based on what they accomplished in their careers on the diamond, not off. That part only happened when America started expecting TV and "Role Models" to raise their children. If ethics were involved in the original voting, how many play boys and drunks would now be diqualified? I can think of 2 real easy. It is not the Hall of ethics, obviously.
