I support the empty class of 2013.
What do Halls of Fame represent? What purpose do they serve?
Is it about remembering people who embody everything we cherish about tradition and sportsmanship, or is it purely about the numbers?
Is sport purely about entertainment, or is it about something more?
We should only commemorate those worthy of serving as role models for the future. Players who *cheat should not be remembered. I am fine with letting them live out the rest of their lives with their fraudulent millions, but I refuse to accept that just because of their records with asterisks that their names should be enshrined.
Jackie Robinson's, Hank Aaron's, J.L. Wilkinson's, Roberto Clemente's, etc. Hall should not be tainted by the infamous.
