I don't base my happiness about baseball on who gets into the HOF, but as a father, I do like to talk with my son about the great players, and instill a love of the game in him. However, when I talk about the great players, and all of the ones I point to being cheaters, it gets kind of difficult to to explain that to a kid who is learning how to play the game. Either I point to the lesson that if you want to be really good and put up the best numbers in the sport you have to cheat, or I try to inspire him to follow something else in life like music or designing.
