Honor Code: start with living Hall of Fame members.

Honor Code: a player will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.

See my two previous posts.  From the most recent:

As far as the Hall of Fame mess, it's not too late to impose an honor code, all of it, including the not tolerating part.  Retroactively

Come on fans.  Let's get the Hall of Fame and/or the Baseball Writers who vote to start the honor code with all living members of the Hall of Fame.  Why not?  Why would Hall of Famers object?  Wouldn't they want to distinguish themselves from the current crop of rejectees?

Speaking of whom, there was deadly silence from those who were not elected to the Hall of Fame in the recently announced voting.  I do not know of one rejectee who claimed that he was unfairly tainted by those who were presumed dirty.  Jeff Bagwell?  Mike Piazza?  Nothing to say?  What does that say?

So maybe Nolan Ryan and Whitey Ford will be the first to take the pledge and honor the honor code. Which Hall of Famer will be the first to do it?  Some Hall of Famers are vocal in their disdain for the 2013 rejectees.  So step up men and show the right stuff of the greatest generation.  Take the pledge or tell us why you won't.

If somehow we fans can get the Hall of Fame and/or the Baseball Writers behind this, the pledge could be a condition for remaining in the Hall of Fame.  Yes, we're talking deduction, ejection, removal.  If they weren't properly vetted for the requisite "sportsmanship, integrity, character", then kick them the heck out!  What kind of Hall of Fame are we running here anyway?

Then we can clean up Dodge and deal with the current candidates by making the pledge a condition for election.

At least that's a scenario to break the logjam.  Every media person I have heard simply moans about what a predicament it is, what a conundrum.  Well, get off your intellectual ass and DO something about it.  My idea is better than your no idea.  Do SOMETHING!
