Another Hall of fame question Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Roger Clemmens, Sammy Sosa, Manny Rameriez?

I think every player you listed should get into the Hall of Fame.

It is just not the idea that they used steroids.

It is their stonewall attitude about it that gripes many of us.

Personally, I don't feel now and I didn't feel then when we first learned of such behavior by our "Heroes" that they needed to cheat. All of these you named could have had a good shot at the Hall of Fame just based on what they had done earlier in their careers without chemical assistance.

The Hall of Fame voters of this generation probably feel the same way.

What happens twenty years from now is something else again.

We will have to address controversy forever, I guess. Just like all this brouhaha about Rose and Jackson and others that have been banned officially by MLB.

At least these guys (listed above) haven't been officially banned, so there is hope for them.

As for tainted records: A record is a record and you can't change one without changing as many as one thousand more. What a dilemma. Just leave it alone, I reckon, is the best solution.

If I had to choose? Can't but I'll flip a coin between Bonds and Clemens. What they did was beyond freakish and out of this world. Look at the numbers, steriods or not, those are amazing numbers.

Will any get in? Possible Ramirez because he is so well liked. But he shouldn't either, imo. the one thing he has going for him is he accepted what he did and there are medical uses for the drug he tested for. He may scarce up enough votes eventually.

The others not only cheated, but lied, denied and cried about it. The writers will not vote them in. Maybe one day the veterans committee will, but that is too hard to say because in 20 years many current members will be dead and many of these mentioned players' peers will be among them and they may feel slighted by them cheating.

A cheater is a cheater no matter what! Though you still have to make contact with the ball, steroids gave them an unfair advantage! All were good hitters as far as batting avg., but then the power numbers stats started to get freaky! As for Clemens, I still say he should give the Yankees all of the money they paid him AND return his ring! I wish he'd have stayed his bum *** in Boston!

Barry may go. Roger will go. Manny will go. Mark won't go. Sosa won't go.
