Curt Schilling is a confirmed bigot. Go ahead and give him more honors - it will only diminish what the HoF means to most Americans.
The Hall of Fame should "only" mean the best of the best. Period. Otherwise, what's the point? There isn't any other point. Really, anyone that feels otherwise, needs to acknowledge that they don't care about baseball.
Amen. And this applies doubly to that travesty called the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame."
R&R HoF is a joke. I agree with admitting those that predated R&R that significantly influenced R&R. Admitting Pop Stars is a freaking joke, especially when some very influential performers from the 60's and 70's haven't been admitted yet.
As for Baseball HoF, players that were caught using steroids, cheating or violating ethics shouldn't be inducted IMO. Admittance should be limited to those that had stellar careers or otherwise made exceptional contributions to the game.
