Re: Shoeless Joe Jackson and Pete Rose. They are still on the MLB list of people banned from the game. The BBWAA and the Veterans Committee has said that they will not consider anyone on the Banned List. So it is a moot point to discuss their cases unless/until they are reinstated by MLB. The advocates for Shoeless Joe Jackson presented the case for reinstatement to Rob Manfred shortly after he became commissioner. He rejected it.
There is one player who was added to the Banned List AFTER he was inducted into the Hall of Fame - Robbie Alomar. But the Hall of Fame has said that they will not remove him.
All of the steroid era players are eligible. They have never been accused as far as I know of violating any MLB rules with regard to PEDs.
