Now, that said, if you believe Jose Canseco's estimates that 80% of the league was using, then the best of the best of the users would still be HOFers. Whether or not something bothers me, or the "is this right or wrong?" question is completely separate from the "is this player a HOFer?" question. I mean, segregation was clearly, horrifyingly wrong, but I wouldn't argue that Babe Ruth isn't a HOFer.

But since many baseball players drank beer during prohibition doesn't that mean that they were breaking the rules. MLB didn't do anything about it and players broke the national law
