Hall of Fame

[mcabee1]

I AM NOT MAD AT STEROID USERS - who cares what everyone (& I mean everyone) did from 1985-2003. They test now and you get suspended if you use. It was not banned by baseball so who cares. They knew what was going on. Guys had stuff sitting in their lockers for reporters to see. I AM MAD THAT MY TAXES ARE PAYING FOR WITCH HUNTS. We are talking tens of millions of dollars. Who cares?

In my opinion, ALL FOUR deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. Their accomplishments speak for themselves. Pudge will get in for sure. A-Rod is very likely to get in. Raffy is very unlikely to get in and no way for Juan.

As a Texas Rangeroids fan, I am in full agreement with Chris on this. Who cares what they did in those years? It wasn't against the rules. No one should get on their moral high horse because there are very few of us who would not use if we had that much money riding on it. If baseball cared so much they should have done something about it much sooner than they did.

As far as the Hall of Fame goes, it has to be an "all or none" deal. Either everyone in the Steroid Era is considered for election based on the merit of their statistics on the field of play or no one is. It is impossible to know who used and who didn't.

Just one man's opinion.

I agree that if any one "suspected" of steriods, even someone like Pudge, gets elected, then they all get elected. I think enough voters are hard up that they will keep all suspected players out, even Bonds. Arod has a long time to go so perhaps it will cool off enough by 2020.
