Just one man’s opinion, but the baseball hall of fame is a farce. Joe Torre and Tony Larussa were just admitted to the HOF. Nary a word was said that both men managed teams with players who used PEDs extensively, ie, Mcwire,Canseco, A-Rod, Clemons etc. It is hard to believe to think that these guys didn’t know what was going on and did nothing to stop it.

One issue to wrestle with is that, at the peak, it's suggested that between 50% and 85% of all MLB players were taking steroids. When I hear '50%' my immediate thought is: "keep going."

That doesn't include HGH. HGH did not become a banned substance until 2005.

That has an effect on whether you admit any manager from the steroid era.

Pete’s portrait will be will be hung in the Hall of the Unforgiven. Tis a pity.
