100th anniversary of Black Sox Scandal next year.... time to let them into the Hall?

Isn't their place in pop culture secured by Eight Men Out?

I would also point out this fact ! We have a HOF in the Halls, that had a hand in this too ! He would be the cheap ass owner of the Whitesox { Charles Comiskey } ! Who would hold players out of games, so they wouldn't get a chance at there bonus ? Think it was 1 or 2 of his ace pitchers, he done this , too , I'm not sure on the players though ? Eddie Cicotte was 1 of those pitchers , who also had a fine career, how many more years did he have in his tank ? Could he also put up more HOFer stats ? I've also heard that Ty Cobb & Tris Speaker were found to be betting, years later ? Is this true ? If so, why were they NOT taken out of the HOF ?

Players made the choice and knew the consequences yet did it anyway. Lifetime ban was the consequence.

Lifetime, not eternal.
