In baseball there are great players and HOF players, and the GPs are a very small subset of the HOFP's, plus a few outliers.  Rose and Shoeless Joe will always each be one of the very few outliers amongst that set of the very few (less than 50) players who deserved to be called "great," but neither will be in the HOF (at least in my lifetime).
