Right but I find the close association of those who want Rose in the HoF but wan't to deny suspected PED users or even some who are just associated with the PED era bizarre.

If as you say it is a Hall of Fame then the infamous of all persuasions should be included.

I get the sense it is being used as the Hall of Double Standards by many of the same people that didn't report what they knew about PED's and the players, managers and team executives who encouraged this activity for their own personal gain and profit in many cases.

There is nothing more insufferable than an ex-smoker I've found. It's a good analogy for all the insufferable prigs suddenly protecting us baseball fans from "gasp" drug use.
