Shoeless Joe Jackson was a star. He is isn’t in the HOF.

He should be too.
Jock sniffers act like the HoF is like a church.
Sactimonious BS…

Glanville makes a pretty convincing argument here. Standards matter. Cheating ought to have consequences even if the specific form of cheating wasn't specifically forbidden.

Buck Weaver, star 3rd basemen for the 1919 Chicago White Sox, never took a nickel to throw a World Series game. But he got the same penalty as the other seven who did because he sat on the information. Eddie Cicotte took only the $5000 which Owner Charles Comiskey promised him and cheated him out of, but he suffered the same penalty as the players who took all the bribe.
