LAMike--C'mon, brother; this is about the players and their on-field stats, not the sportswriters. Your "moral compass" should arise from the players, not those who are paid to cover their stories. Earl: LOVE that gravatar, dude, but again, Ty Cobb got in on his ON-FIELD performance, not because he juiced or a racist sadistic weirdo. Pete (Sh*t-head) Rose should be allowed IN because of his stats, the ones earned on the field of play, not excluded because he sullied the game (which he DID). The aforementioned triumvirate should be EXCLUDED from the Hall unless a hefty asterisk lets future generations know that their on-field stats were enhanced by their use of illegal drugs. Simple, no?btw, Brooksie, it's "I couldn't give a damn...", "How are the media...", and "...the dam has broken...". Stylebook...!? HELL-o!

These sports writers could not play so they complain and moan about those who can. Ask the players why they stopped the drugs. You cannot keep getting better at tracking a 90+ mph fast ball if your eyes are "vibrating". They are not the moral compass they lead you to believe– should they have drug testing for the sports writers ??? because some of them talk and appear to be on drugs themselves as the report the "action". They should look at the stats and let them speak for themselves — and not try to speak for them!!!

McGwire was nowhere the near bubble if you ignore the steroids. McGwire and Sosa get in easy without steroids, Palmeiro not so much.

If they can let in people like Ty Cobb, why not?

I agree about Bonds, Clemens and A-Rod if for no other reason then their "clean" years were enough to put them in the Hall. Their numbers are definite first-ballot material, while McGwire and Palmiero were on the bubble even if they were clean.

Not to mention, induction in the Hall is a reward for being better than those who played in the same era. Considering that the whole era appears to be juiced, and Bonds, Clemens and A-Rod are still that much better than most others, they're in in my book. No to Mac and Palmiero still.
