Rose is a true and utter piece of shit. So are about 50% of the guys elected before 1960. He deserves to be in jail for raping a 14 year old. But he also deserves to be recognized as on of the all time greats at baseball, which he is.
Bonds & Clemens should 100% be Hall of Famers. It's a completely absurd argument to say otherwise. Baseball has never been clean of roids/greenies/pain killers/cocaine/alcohol and many etc.'s It's never, literally ever, been clean or without the best of the best trying to get advantages.
I'm also the believer that being famous, helps you get in the Hall of Fame. It's an additional factor. I hate the Yankees, I like maybe 5 guys since 1980 total that have played there. Mattingly is one of those guys. I'd love to see him in the Hall, he's been a baseball lifer, was great albeit for a shorter period, and was the most famous Yank of his era.
It's stupid as hell that Dale Murphy isn't in the Hall too.
