I wonder whether anyone would be arguing about the ban if it was happening to, say, Alvin Dark. Does anyone believe that the rules should be different, for some players, based on stats and popularity? If MLB is serious about keeping gambling out of baseball then they must enforce the lifetime ban, whether the player has Hall of Fame numbers or not. All the drugs in the world won't destroy baseball. OTOH, the day fans believe the games are fixed, the league is out of business.
