Cooperstown and the sanctimony we see today

Ty Cobb was a lout
Old Pete was a drunk
Ruth missed a season (1925) because he was sufferinG the effects of not caring
Maris was alone in 61 because Mantle took Mel Allens advice and took a "miracle shot" and got an abcess costing him the season
ps he hoped that miracle shot shoved him past Ruth
Noone wants to see Pete Rose get into the HOF less then Pete himself.
MLB has made Pete hugely monetarily viable every year by rejecting him
