I would argue he countered all of his positives equally or more so w/negatives in that area.
This will be an interesting one for Hall voters. They've shown that a player's personal problems off the field have not kept them out of the hall, but have they ever dealt w/a player who's conduct on & off field was so detrimental to his team?

I still view the issues separately. In many instances his production trumped his PIA factor, sometimes not, but overall his production is just undeniable.
So do you think he's a HOF player or no?
