If he's out there throwing meat and teams keep him in for the PR, I'd agree that he should be left out. As long as he's contributing though, his contributions to the game should be acknowledged.

These things take a life of their own. Gordie Howe played hockey into his 50's but at the end it was a joke. Players have been quoted as saying they were warned not to run at him as no one wanted him to be killed etc.
In Moyers case if he is successful you will see a media blitz occur which will serve to set up the HoF for his election.
The worst possible reason IMO to elect him to the HoF is for reaching 300 wins. It would establish definitively that 300 wins is not the accomplishment but hanging around (effectively) for long enough is the route.
I must have taken my cynic pills today.
