How is that the "next logical question"? What does sexual assault have to do with steroid use?
And where is the hypocrisy? To my knowledge the HOF has never removed anyone after being inducted, so they are treating Alomar the same as every other shitbag they've enshrined.
Do you mean why shouldn't juicers be allowed in the Hall if sex offenders are? I can definitely understand that outlook, but I'm sure most writers who vote against juicers would make a distinction between on-field and off-field transgressions. I personally don't find the argument particularly persuasive, but that's the distinction.
The episode does highlight the interesting and often misunderstood dynamic that being banned from MLB doesn't actually mean you're banned from the HOF.
