Just to play devil's advocate about baseball HoF... [View all]
We all know Bonds, Clemens, Sosa, McGwire, and so on didn't make it and won't for quite some time in all liklihood, but here are facts. Bonds won 4 MVP's, Clemens won 7 Cy Young awards, Sammy won the MVP once, beating out McGwire. These awards are voted on baseball writers, many of whom have Hall of Fame votes. And these self serving "guardians of the game" or whatever shit they try to call themselves are keeping the above named players out of the Hall because they (allegedly) cheated. And they are keeping out Piazza, Biggio, Bagwell and others as well because they may have cheated.
Sounds like a witch hunt to me. Where does it stop? Did Frank Thomas do 'roids? How about Jim Thome? Probably not, but the whispers will be there and it may prevent guys like that from getting in as well. Btw, Lee Smith was far and away a better closer than Gossage, so why isn't he in? Could it be some New York bias? And Jack Morris was a better pitcher than Schilling, so he should get in before Schilling. But he may not.
