Just to play devil's advocate about baseball HoF...

1. That point was being made on the radio today

These same voters cheered Bonds on to 4 consecutive MVP's at the same time that he was visibly growing and dramatically increasing his HR numbers. Everybody joked about the roids. Yet they didn't care.

And the hall is full of cheaters. Does the fact that some were caught using corked bats bother these voters? How about spitballs? How about being despicable human beings (Ty Cobb was at least the equal of Bonds in being scumball, and more violent).


Bunch of friction hypocrites. The worst are the former players who go on in such sanctimonious tones about how cheaters have to be kept out (I'm talking to you, Shilling, and you Dale Murphy). You guys were dead silent when you played against these cheaters. I would be willing to bet that if everything were known about every player, most would have done something that could be considered 'cheating' in their careers.
