Note2: I am an advocate of judging players by what they accomplished between the white lines.

I think that's fine, and maybe preferable, but if that's the case, let's get rid of the hypocrisy and say that the Hall of Fame criteria are based solely on what happens between the white lines and that "Voting shall be based upon the player’s record, playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character, and contributions to the team(s) on which the player played."

And your point about prior honorees with character flaws is well taken.
