Originally posted by Captain Cold Nose View PostI'm just wondering whether or not Ron Santo belongs in the HOF.
Seriously, I have always felt that Jackson should be in. And my argument has been when people ask about Rose if he gets in after being banned, than so should Jackson.
I voted both.

Originally posted by Honus Wagner Rules View PostI don't understand your question. Are you aking if Rose and Jackson belong in the HoF based on their major league careers? Or you asking if they belong in the HOF despite noth being involved in gambling?Originally posted by bhss89"Hi. My name is John. I'd like you to meet my fastball. Can you catch up to it?

Iconic figure that Shoeless Joe Jackson is cannot erase the fact he took money to throw World Series games. Those of you who want to quibble that he may have actually played well simply miss the point.

The only thing I have to add is that the voters should be permitted to make their own judgments about the character, integrity and sportsmanship of banned players rather than having such players institutionally excluded from consideration."It is a simple matter to erect a Hall of Fame, but difficult to select the tenants." -- Ken Smith
"I am led to suspect that some of the electorate is very dumb." -- Henry P. Edwards
"You have a Hall of Fame to put people in, not keep people out." -- Brian Kenny
"There's no such thing as a perfect ballot." -- Jay Jaffe

Are you saying that an organization has no right to administer itself and set down rules and regulations? That a group - whatever its line of business - whatever its market is - can and should not set guidelines for itself?
Where's the backbone? Who is going to run this organization which apparently doesn't have a say about itself or any mechanism to define itself?Last edited by Brian McKenna; 03-28-2008, 01:20 PM.
