When I was there, I saw displays on Rose, Shoeless Joe, Bonds, McGwire, Sosa, Eddie Gaedel, you name it. So for all the people out there saying that the Hall of Fame is being whitewashed of its less savoury history, you're wrong. If PED users get in, there's a ceremony in the summer, and a 10-by-16 inch bronze plaque in the HoF wing. That's the only difference. Now if people want to argue that certain players deserve those bronze plaques, go for it. But don't use the argument that Rose, Bonds, Clemens, et al should have their accomplishments detailed in the museum, because they already are. Just not in bronze.

Did not know that. Interesting.
