Baseball needs its own Mütter Museum

The Major League Baseball Hall of Fame is nice. Too neat and clean, though. Baseball history also has facets that are delightfully vile, grotesque, and absurd. Let's give it a home. And put real people in charge, like John Waters.

In a recent post, there was an excellent Lonnie Smith thread instigated by The Ghost of Manny Trillo that made me want to have a home for really good players who are maybe not regular Hall of Fame material -- the "Hall of Good" is something we often think of. But I thought about it more, and there are players who deserve their own place who either don't fit in the HoF (or a generic HoG) but who deserve attention for either their unusual lifestyles, paths, or events.
