I don’t care at all about whether they are good people Archived Message Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider on May 13, 2025, 15:47:31, in reply to "I'm probably in the minority on this, but it's the Hall of Fame, not the hall of good people" I think we should still have a standard on the integrity of the game as Rose and Jackson failed. Gambling and throwing games that you are directly involved in is rightfully the highest sin. Bonds should be in and imo shouldn’t even be seen as comparable to Rose or Jackson.
