That's why I'm okay with keeping him away from baseball and baseball operations. But the HOF is for on-field accomplishments. If you keep Pete out for his character flaws, then why not remove anyone who was an a-hole in real life? Heck, we'd have to do away with the HOF entirely if that were the case.

Couldn't agree more.  It really is a personal thing with Pete.  He just rubbed the powers that be the wrong way.  I still say he won't be in the HOF in Selig's life time or Pete's lifetime either.

Wouldn't shock me a bit to see Pete elected posthumously.

Is it right or fair?  Hell no.  But he did put himself in this box and did all the wrong things on his way to trying to get out of it.
