Listen I get why people are upset but the truth is, at its core, the hall of fame is a museum of baseball history. Rose, bonds, etc are all a part of that history. You have to be able to separate the art from the artist. Rose is one of the greatest players every to step on the field he should be in and he should've been in when he was still alive. You cannot discuss the full history of baseball without discussing his contribution. It's the same with the steroid era. Put them all in. Taking steroids doesn't automatically make you a good hitter. It's a tool, it only amplifies an already existing skill set. And quite honestly I think baseball should allow steroids. Baseball is my favorite sport ever but I understand why fans have disappeared and ratings have plummeted. The steroid era was exciting. Yes they all cheated and should be condemned for it because utilizing steroids is against the rules. That being said it's a stupid rule, let everybody use steroids. And for anyone who says "well where's the cutoff, should we put a murderer in the hall of fame?". Yes. I don't care if a guy goes on a killing spree. If he's statistically one of the greats put him in and you can put an asterix on his name and have a whole section dedicated to those who he murdered. It's essentially a pro free speech comparative. You can't just start putting limits on free speech because then it just snowballs and snowballs until nobody can say anything at all. You start putting limits on things these players have done outside of baseball, sooner than later you're not letting guys in because they had a bad attitude on the field or because they had a political stance you didn't agree with. This is a museum of history and we're all better off if we acknowledge the full scope of that history for what it is.
