Coach,

You make an excellent point. You really don't know who cheated and who didn't. I have a buddy whose father is in the Packer Hall of Fame and he talks about one of the other great Lombardi Packers who used amphetamines and that player is in the Football all of Fame.

I don't think keeping a few out would be "fair". Bonds and Sosa would be on my list. I don't think you have to be fair. I think you have to make a point to young people. I also don't think you have to be fair to cheaters.

I know this isn't the way courts work. If things aren't proven, how can you "punish" people. But, the Hall is a privilege, not a right, and there is an important point to be made. My solution has the problems you point out, but I still think it is the way to go. I think reasonable people can differ.
