And until JOE fk'n Jackson gets into the HOF, Pete Rose should NEVER be allowed in there. Fk'n Jackson didn't do anything wrong except KNOW about the fix of 1919. He has a .356 career average (3rd highest) and he's one of the greatest players of all-time. It's a bunch of bullsh**.
BTW, Biggio and Larkin are definately in IMO. If you ever read Bill Jame's stuff, he ranks Biggio as the 35th greatest player of all-time. Not that James is Mr. know it all, but that's saying something.

As much as I love Bill James, I think he overrates Craig Biggio. I think Biggio was a wonderful player and deserver to be in the Hall, though.
I don't know about Joe Jackson in the hall. Maybe. Eddie Cicote deserves it more.
