I am going to say yes to Bonds and Clemons for the Hall of Fame UNTIL there is definate proof and something done by MLB to punish them for their actions. After this is proven - kick them out or don't vote them in.

As for Rose - keep him out because he violated the integrity of the game by betting. The rules are posted and there have been others banned from this. Also, his admission is pretty shady as well. He admitted in a book that he profited from. He knew by admitting his guilt that would make it a best seller and make tons of money off of it.

Rose - great hitter who didn't use drugs to be the best. But he abused the trust the game has in it's players to do the right thing.

Bonds and Clemens - good players who POSSIBLY used science to make themselves better. PROBABLY broke the law to do it though.
