If Barry Bonds isn't a Hall of Famer by the end of the day, it's a failure by the Hall of Fame
At the entrance to the National Baseball Hall of Fame's plaque gallery, a sign hangs to help guide museumgoers through what they're about to see. The first paragraph talks about how players are in the Hall for «their accomplishments in the game.» The next paragraph says other areas of the museum «address the totality of their careers.» The final paragraph ties it all together: «The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum's mission is to Preserve History, which is what we seek to do throughout the Museum.»
