Yes, I knew that, however, my point was that OJ is still in the Hall ; they could have removed him. There was talk of that back then. In fact, there was talk about removing OJ from the Buffalo Bills Wall of Fame.

Joe, I agree with your feelings and stance on Pete Rose, I really do. My opinion is that as much as I abhor Rose for what he did, I can dichotomize his awful choice from his baseball accomplishments. That's how I deal with the matter.

All those players who took steroids to enhance their performances are far more egregious in my opinion because their accomplishments were aided by drugs. We can never be sure how many home runs, rbi, hits, averages, etc. were due to the affect of steroids. At least Rose's stats were fully due to his actual non-drug induced performances. Rose's gambling was awful, but his stats cannot be questioned.
