He will find his way into the Hall of Fame eventually as it is. His integrity as a Coach cannot be proven comprimised. Perhaps he bet on his team, but against them? That's only an accusation.
Either way, a disgrace like that represents his integrity as a coach and not a player. To be frank, he's not up for HoF consideration based on his coaching skills.
He's up for being the alltime hit king, and gambling has nothing to do with that.

I'm fairly confident he's going to get in. Probably sooner than later. The fans certainly don't care. I haven't heard very many fans from any market claim that he shouldn't be in. People want him in. Even existing HoFers.
All it's going to take is a commissioner with some sack to lift the ban and get the job done.
