Why? No one running the MLB today was involved in any way with the enforcement of segregation via the Negro Leagues. I used to volunteer at a Vets Home and if there was ever a group of Americans that had more animosity toward another group of people, it'd probably be the Pacific veterans of WWII. However, in their old age most of them have lightened up a good deal and it was rare to find a veteran who still held grudges. i wouldn't be opposed to MLB offering it, but I wouldn't be surprised if some turned them down, that's all I'm saying. Perhaps MLB should start by letting Rose in the HoF and work down from there
