> The Hall of Fame does not consider players who have been banned from baseball.

That may be so, but the lack of Pete Rose in it makes the HoF a farce. He is the #1 player ever in four major statistical categories (hits, AB, singles, games played).

His exclusion shames the Hall to such a degree that no baseball fan should take the HoF seriously.

I find it interesting that along with Rose, the players with the most MVP awards, the most HRs, and the most Cy Young awards are not in the HOF. I am not advocating for either player. It is more of a commentary on the state game.

That seems like an odd take on things. I think the Pro Football Hall of Fame is a farce because they haven't thrown O.J. Simpson out.

Then by your measure Joe Jackson should be in it too.
