Agree on Rose after he dies. He could be in based on his playing days with a note on his plague about his ban. I just don’t want to see that <insert your favorite 4 letter word here> at the podium in Cooperstown on a nice July day.
Maybe they need a “year of the cheaters” to get it all done at once - Jackson, Rose, other Black Sox, Bonds, Clemens, etc.
Some fans will see this as a long awaited correction, others a travesty (but one that is at least over with all at once).
These guys being IN the HOF would actually get them less attention after induction than being on the outside looking in.
I mean, look at Bert Blylevin.
