The Hall is about more than just how you did on the field. That's not to say that there aren't raging a-holes and even criminals in the Hall, but lines have been drawn in the past, and we should continue to draw lines in the future. After all, letting in cheaters from days past is not good justification for doing so in the future. The Hall of Fame should be a place of dignity that honors great players and great men. As I've said before, it shouldn't be the Hall of VORP. Dale Murphy should be in and Barry Bonds shouldn't have a chance. I say put Fred McGriff--probably Barry Bonds' and the steroid era's biggest victim--in the Hall instead.
