Ridiculous. Steroids or not he was already a star.
Are they allowing anyone from the 90’s?

Also, Pete Rose should be in the HoF.

Shoeless Joe Jackson was a star. He is isn’t in the HOF.

Most players did not cheat. Ken Griffey Jr. did not cheat. These cheaters, by their drug enhancement, affected every single baseball game they played in. It’s a joke that someone like Pete Rose, whose gambling did not affect the outcome of a single game, is not eligible for the Hall, while these individuals are on the ballot.

“Ridiculous. Steroids or not he was already a star.”

Cheat, they all cheated. They all knew the rules and cheated. Is that cause for celebration?

“Are they allowing anyone from the 90s?”
Ken Griffey Jr.

‘Are they allowing anyone from the 90’s?’

I always get a laugh out of people complaining about so and so using PED’s, and thus ‘cheating’; well, instead of bitching, maybe these whiners could, like, take a couple of PED’s themselves, and try competing with the ‘cheaters’ and beating then at their own game...

I’ve read that Tom Brady is highly conscious of his diet and workout routine, maintaining it is necessary for him to compete; does this not give him an unfair advantage over someone like Jared Lorenzen or Ken Stabler, who never turned down a beer or a bag of pork rinds, and whose idea of a workout was simply squeezing into a uniform...? what about the vitamin popper, the guy who gets more regular sleep, the guy who maintains his weight at optimal levels for play; aren’t they cheating as well, since what they do gives them a leg up...

as for Barry Bonds...? I heard he was a lousy teammate, I’d keep him out for that, but as a baseball slugger, he was one of the best, so yeah, he should be in the Hall...
