Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 2255214, member: 622"] Just a clarification: The NFL HOF is based on on-field performance. The MLB HOF includes performance AND character issues (especially following the Black Sox incident/monopoly issue) from a players whole life. If the MLB considered only on field performance, Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson would be instated immediately. This also explains why Lawrence Taylor* gets into the NFL HOF while if he maintained the same character and played baseball, he would never be considered. *I am a Giants fan and have followed the Giants since a child, before Simms and Taylor were drafted. While I love the on field performance, LT has less character than one would hope. [/QUOTE]
