Clemens never tested positive on any released data. He was named by his personal trainer as a user. and he is listed in the report of Sen Mitchell He has vigorously denied use and even sued his accusers [settled out of court]

3 blind mice
Lets see,
1. Players are selected to hof by a vigilantee group of sportswriters who openly admit their personal biases affect their decisions which would disqualify them from any jury in the usa. 2. Mlb who actually employed the hof candidates sits back and allows this besirchment to happen to their organization. 3. Same mlb organization doesen't have the moral certitude to declare world series titles vacant after establishing the guilt of " winners" in effect allowing 29 mlb owners to be defrauded by one other owner twice in recent years. They didn't want to wear the black eye of the necessary mea culpa . Why? You ask? So their ratings and profits stay high with no further embarrassment in the public eye. 4. Mlb. Grow a pair. Police your own sport. You benefitted from the steroids era and now throw it's participants under the busses driven by your media vassals. Pt barnum said it best. " there's suckers ( us) born everyday. |

Let's be honest, the HOF is primarily a popularity contest and not based on achievements on the field. There's way too many already in, who were reprehensible human beings - but were liked by the voters.

Mlb should be responsible for hof membership. Their sport, their employees, their responsibility. |

Bonds' use of PEDs is well-documented even though he wasn't caught when he was playing. Read the excellent, non-fiction book "Game of Shadows" by the investigative journalists who prove he was using them and did it deliberately, not by "mistake" as other players claim. He did it out of ego, vanity and to break McGuire's single season HR record and then Hank Aaron's all-time record. He's a disgusting human being and a narcissistic sociopath whose never shown any regret of remorse for what he did. However, like Clemens, an argument can be made for his career being HOF worthy before his PEDs use but we can only speculate when he began doing it since he's never admitted it and apologized. I think if he had he'd be in no matter how odious of a person he is. Please don't compare things like alcoholism with PEDs use. If they judged baseball players' worthiness for the HOF on excessive drinking there'd be nobody in there! Hank Aaron and some others admitted to taking "greenies" which are amphetamines and helped them cope with the long season, road trips, etc. Plus, there wasn't a coherent formal policy in MLB on drug use until the early 1990's. |
