I think you have to look at this from the frame of reference of that era. It is easy to say "no way" he committed the cardinal sin of baseball. However, the situation of those players is a far cry from the multimillion dollar contracts of today's athletes (not to mention we have no way of knowing for sure whether he was complicit). It is not a black or white issue and in my opinion I think he deserves to be in. YMMV, as always...
