He will NOT be a first ballot inductee when eligible..

Meanwhile, I posted yesterday, somewhat tongue in cheek..that ALL the suspended players ( except Braun) are Latino...nobody in the sports media has touched that one as yet..

[Timber Rattler]

No he doesn’t...he cheated. Period.

[ptsal]

...Alex.... drug user...
Consider him AFTER Pete Rose

[allendale]

Drug user, fornicator and selfish, deceptive narcissist. No doubt he reflects the values and customs the culture that spawned him. Hall of Fame? He is a prime candidate to be a Democratic nominee.

[xzins]

No one who artificially enhanced their stats through anything should be in the hall of fame.

Rodriguez admitted to doing so earlier in his career, he’s accused of it again, but that he’s already admitted to past use is all I need to know. It means his stats aren’t real.

Since his stats aren’t real, he shouldn’t be in the Hall of Fame. It’s not even a hard question to answer.

[RGSpincich]

This clown fails to see the absurdity of skipping over Bonds to induct AR. And after citing Bonds as having better stats.

[P-Marlowe]

He belongs in the Hall of Shame.

[Gay State Conservative]

If he was,in fact,using steroids...or anything resembling steroids...he doesn't belong in the Hall of Fame any more than does Pete Rose.

[Third Person]

Yeah, he belongs in the Dopers Hall of Fame.

[traditional1]

Inducting drug-enhanced record holders is no different than giving a Nobel Prize to assholes who have done nothing at all (most accomplish nothing, though drug-enhanced, in that case).

[canuck_conservative]

Just do like cycling did with Lance Armstrong, simply delete all stats & records for any years where he was doing illegal drugs, then re-evaluate his career numbers.

[Principled]

This cheater should be laughed out of the game. ARod should have a lifetime ban.

Pete Rose broke a rule but just damn, he didn't cheat - for years.

[dfwgator]

Rodriguez most definitely does NOT belong in the HoF.

He disappeared in post season. His numbers are deceiving, he does great when nothing is on the line, but folds when it matters.

[skeeter]

If not for steroid allegations, Rodriguez would not only be a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame, but a likely choice for first-ballot enshrinement.

As if Rodriquez was using steroids to re-grow hair. Is the writer this dense?

[dfwgator]

Yeah, PEDs really "helped" Nelson Cruz.

Now he's ruined two Rangers' seasons.

[bmwcyle]

The is so wrong.

[Redmen4ever]

Say it ain’t to, A-Rod.

[ExpatGator]

Allegations?

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Pete Rose will get into the Hall of Fame before A-Roid.
