I believe the Hall of Fame should stand for what the name means. Who has brought the most fame to the hall. One of the greatest players in the history of baseball would be Shoeless Joe Jackson. We grow up as young boys, hearing about a guy who played a game without shoes. We idolize this guy who died 50 years before we were born. He set the stage of the Majors and brought it into fame. He is one of the top 10 most famous players to ever play and he is not in the hall. The court did not find him guilty so why do we? He transformed the game with his swing. That very swing is the one that Babe Ruth modeled his after and found his fame. The guys bat alone is the most famous bat in Baseball. Lets get him in.
