Perhaps we could also ask if Shoeless Joe Jackson should have been made eligible for the HoF. After all, Pete Rose always bet on his team to win whereas Shoeless Joe was involved in a scheme to throw the 1919 World Series. He admitted to having taken a $5,000 bribe though he denied having taken any on-field actions to earn that bribe. His statistics during the 1919 World Series seems to support that statement.
