    But the fact that he did juice in the 2nd half of his career, is enough for me NOT to vote for him. Nor would I let Sosa or Clemens in.

    Fuck em all.


    Then would you say Fuck em all, from the GREENIE era? or how about the players that ONLY played against white Americans?(would Ty Cobb & Babe Ruth have been as good as they were if they played against the best?

    One can come up with an arguement when it comes to baseball, IMO.[/quote]
    I dont have a time machine, so I cant change the past.
    Sosa, Bonds, and Clemens are steroid freaks, who do not deserve to be inducted in to The Hall Of Fame.

    My opinion.[/quote]

    EXACTLY(about not being able to change the past).

    Thers probably players in the HOF right now that don't deserve to be in. Thers shit about some players that we may never know.

    I would say mcgriff was just as good as Jim Rice, but I don't think Rice should have been voted in.

    As much as I hate what Barry Bonds became, he was a really great baseball player at one time. By the time he started using steroids (supposedly shortly after the '98 HR race/season) he had been playing for 13 seasons, played in 8 All-Star games, won 8 Gold Gloves, 7 Silver Sluggers, and was 3 time NL MVP. So even before he started his personal steroid era, he was HOF all the way.

    If I ran the Hall Of Fame, I'd put Bonds in, but make no mention of his post-98 career, or his HR record. And I'd probably "forget" to invite him to the ceremony. Guy is a total douche.
    But the fact that he did juice in the 2nd half of his career, is enough for me NOT to vote for him. Nor would I let Sosa or Clemens in.

    i agree ... haha ...

    my biggest beef isn't that these guys took steroids ... it's the fact they lied about it when it was obvious ... some of these guys sat there in front of a hearing under oath and pleaded the 5th ...

    I feel like the HOF in each sport needs to branch out and create a higher "Pantheon" of the HOFers. They seem way to watered down. Maybe like the top 25 players or something.... and in order to add a player, someone needs to be taken off. Every 10 years or so, possibly create another slot.

    If a player's numbers dictate admission, put them in. So sick of the HOF trying to legislate morality. Put Pete Rose and Joe Jackson in the fucking place too. It's the Baseball Hall of Fame not admission into sainthood.

    Proof? And even if there is proof and there's not....why care? Already a lot of criminals and cheaters in the HOF.

    Well, you cant change the past, as far as who is in the Hall Of fame.
    But you can prevent the cheaters of the Steroid Era, from getting in to The Hall Of Fame.
    And anyone with common sense would have to be suspicious of Biggio.

  • Biggios 1st 5 years, he hits 31 Hr.
    The next 15 years, he hits 261 Hr.
    At the age of 39 he hits for a career high 26 Hr.

    I got Bonds, Clemens, Jack Morris, Bagwell, Piazza and Edgar Martinez if I was voting. Bonds and Clemens were Hall of Famers if their careers ended before they started putting steroids into the system. Morris gets in for being the winningest pitcher of the 1980s, Piazza gets in for being the greatest hitting catcher or one of them as does Bagwell and Martinez. Many Yankee fans will tell you on what Martinez did alone against them during his prime is worthy.

    I wonder..and I'm being serious here...when Bonds gets voted in, maybe not this year who knows, not my point...couldn't you see Bonds not showing up for the HOF ceremony?
