Ty Cobb killed a guy. Babe Ruth was a drunk, you had "greenies" in the 60's and 70's, cocaine in the 80's, and now steroids in this era. Why are steroid users the only ones being judged by these hypocritical old sportswriters that don't want to see the records of their baseball heroes broken? Greenies and cocaine are methamphetamines that gave players a boost. Can we prove that players like Mays and Aaron didn't use greenies? How about Reggie and Goose never using cocaine? I'm not accusing any of these players, I'm simply making the statement that athletes have always searched for anything to give them an advantage. The players in the hall are just as dirty as the players these hypocrites are keeping out.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05687487174545518045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-85406875392038916942014-11-29T09:55:55.619-05:002014-11-29T09:55:55.619-05:00So has Big Popi, and Roger lied before the Congres...So has Big Popi, and Roger lied before the Congressional Committee (should be in jail)!<br />A-Rod has never tested positive for anything. There are still many players using now, and will be forever. They will just refine the drugs and find new stuff to use.<br />There will never be a drug free HoF.<br />I think they should just quit electing the close, but not really real good players just because he is a good guy or he spent his career as a DH. Being a good guy and PC, never won any games that I know of.Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-66325255762488388342014-11-29T08:48:02.264-05:002014-11-29T08:48:02.264-05:00Me personally I have no problem with A Rod in the ...Me personally I have no problem with A Rod in the Hall of Fame but he has been caught since it was against the rules AND before... so his case is hard to make.

They may tarnish records because of the ability to heal quicker and bounce back from a day game after a night game, etc., but they don't make you great. <br /><br />Bonds, Clemens, McGwire, even Canseco. These guys were great before the roids. You didn't see these guys hitting cheap home runs. Most of them are gone with or without the roids.

There is no doubt that PED's are a black eye for baseball. But I question how much they truly helped a player. Bonds was an absolute stud. His teammates Bobby Estella and Benito Santiago were admitted steroid users. Did either one of them ever come close to Bonds worse year? Jason Grimsley was an admitted steroid user. Did his best year compare to Clemens worst? Superior athletes are superior athletes. Period.
