All that said, if you decline to go and you are healthy, I'd love to see them go "YOINK!" and take it back. The Hall of Fame is an honor but in the end is not at all important. So if somebody wants to be a dick about it just cut them out and move on.

Health is obviously a good excuse, but maybe the best solution if someone does a prima donna thing like this is to defer their induction. The HoF should say, "We'll induct you when you're ready for it. You're not ready right now." So he's got the induction when he wants it, but he doesn't go in if he doesn't appreciate it. He then needs to let the HoF know in some future year that he's ready and he joins the next year's class.
