If John Rocker still can pitch in the big leagues — I don't know if he can pitch anymore, but he certainly now has the right to try with Tampa Bay — then can't we celebrate the best baseball movie ever made, even if some find the politics of two of its stars offensive?

This comment reveals the utter ignorance of the author. Rocker was suspended by Major League Baseball for comments (largely true, BTW) that he made about Mets fans and the people of New York in general.

I would suggest that this item should be re-written as follows:

If Major League Baseball can suspend John Rocker for comments that he made on his own time to a sports magazine reporter, then the Baseball Hall of Fame can do whatever the hell it wants with regard to Mr. Robbins.

EXACTLY

And add Fuzzy Zeller being dropped by KMART because of his remarks and Jimmy the Greek being dropped by the TV net work because of his remarks and the General Manager of the Dodgers for his remarks
