Being incarcerated and being excluded from consideration for induction into the Hall of Fame are not comparable. As Jules might say to Vincent Vega, it ain't the same f*****' ballpark, it ain't the same league, it ain't even the same f*****' sport.

Beyond that, the convicted inside trader could certainly argue that he was "penalized for life," very much in the same way that Rose has been by baseball. It is extremely unlikely that a convicted insider trader is going to become employed in the financial services industry where his expertise would lie.

And, in my opinion, that would be just.
