Belle has the numbers to at least be seriously considered to be a member of the HOF. His personality has nothing to do with what he did on the field. Barry Bonds was on of the biggest jerks in the history of baseball, but that doesn't mean that he's not the single greatest player that I've seen in my life.

Nothing else. It's not a ladies tea social, it's a professional sport. We revere the guys with attitude that live outside conventional ways of life, then crucify them for doing the same thing. Does anybody actually read Madden? I don’t know if he’s a HOF’er or not, but it should only be based on what he did on the field. Nothing else.
