How many players got busted in the HOF using pine tar and other sneaky tricks to try and gain a slight advantage? They just need to leave Pete alone. Dude was a great hall ass player who gave 100% all the time. Fantastic if not best baseball player ever.
Not even top 25 and arguable on top 50.

George Foster, Johnny Bench, Barry Larkin, Joe Morgan were better players, off the top of my head.
