I'd love to see Baseball make a statement bringing in Chase, Joe Jackson, Pete Rose, Roger Clemens, and Barry Bonds into the HOF all at once. I think the short term furor about those five would die down fairly quickly as discussion of each would dilute discussions of the others, and after a few years no one would make a big deal about it.

Another great one! Someone should make a movie about Chase. There is a great podcast about his time in the Arizona area from 2021: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mining-diamonds-along-the-border/id1559987917
