missing Ty Cobb and Roger Clemens would have no shot of ever getting
in.....(how's my troll??)

The Hall is NOT full of people who shat on the game. Ty Cobb was a
misogynist and a terrible racist, and by all accounts a miserable
excuse of a **** poor human being, but he didn't caught betting on
baseball. (Some say he did, but he was never caught.)

I wouldn't mind a separate section of the Hall to enshrine scum
like Joe Jackson and Pete Rose for their play on the field, but
enshrinement in that section of the Hall would be posthumously
ONLY, and there would be no induction ceremony. Just a plaque in
the Shameful Section which would include a description of their
crimes against the game.

As for Clemens, **** Texas and **** Texans, you could give the
whole damn lot of them to the Mexican League for all I care.
