- I hear you. But this policy would last about 24 hours. Until a court enjoined it for interfering with a federal function. There may be responses to that but this Supreme Court would maintain it for many months until the merits would be resolved.

- Well, I think Rose ought to be there. As with these other guys I think the Hall should be for great ballplayers--not admirable people! And as to great ballplayers Rose is near the top.
- With respect to Clemens people ought to remember that he he consistently denied ever knowingly taking PEDs & when prosecuted for saying that under oath, acquitted by a jury. The Hall is full of steroid users & other miscreants, but great baseball players. But very few as great as Bonds and Clemens.
- BTW see today's Times on Pete Rose. www.nytimes.com/athletic/688...
