Everyone Whose Statistics Warrant Hall of Fame Should Be In From Steroids Era

[jedi517]

This Mitchell report that came out today is a bombshell to white America because of simply one name, Roger Clemens. He is still going to the Hall of Fame even after all this shit. So I say, and I know you will agree me, everyone who played in that "ERA" who warrants Hall of Fame consideration should go. That means McGwire, Bonds, Sosa, Palmiero, Clemens, Pettite and whoever else has the stats. Or ban everyone who played from 1988-200? from Hall of Fame consideration.

This reporter from Detroit said he is going to vote for everyone on that list when their names come up because whats to say the person who pitched against them or batted against them wasn't juiced? what about those folks who paid cash and didn't write checks to get the HGH and other stuff? Unless it was one person who did it, you have to assume everyone did it especially after Mitchell said there is proof every team had at least one violator.

You can vote or not vote for anyone you want in terms of the Hall. Always been that way. No particular formal standards, just personal ones.

Fact is that the effects of steroid (or other drug) use can't be quantified in terms of performance. There's no way to know how someone would've done WITHOUT the drugs vs. WITH them during that time. No control sample.

Since there was no policy against steroid use until '02, and if someone wasn't banned or suspended after that then everything they did on the field counts. Players achieved "by any means necessary," with the best doing a bit better (while the losers were still the losers, even with drugs). Too bad if someone doesn't like it.
