What is the Hall of Fame? That seems to be the question at the heart of the discussion about admitting PED users. Is the HOF hallowed ground reserved for the greatest players and best men to ever play the game or merely a record of the accomplishments of the era? Those who see it as a record want to make sure it includes the players with the best numbers, no matter how those numbers were arrived at.
But what they fail to see is that the Hall of Fame does not, and does not need to, serve that pedantic role.
