Professional sports Hall of Fame and Ring of Honor protocols are often a topic of discussion, particularly in this era of performance enhancing drugs and some players’ and front office executives’ off-the-field transgressions.
Perhaps the most discerning of all pro sports’ Hall of Fames is the Major Leage Baseball shrine in Cooperstown, New York, where to this day one will not see the busts of Pete Rose, Barry Bonds, Mark McGuire or Roger Clemons. While Sammy Sosa has not been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, he was, however, inducted to the Chicago Cubs’ Hall of Fame.
