With 694 HR’s....he probably ought to get admission. But then how many were fake HRs via steroids? If you look at his build and weight....he’s the kind of guy who should have hit near 35 HR’s a year for his best decade, and maybe wound up with 450 total HR’s.

Off a listing of all-time Yankees....I wouldn’t put him in the top twenty...but it’s just me saying that. As long as they don’t get stupid and try to bring in as a manager one day....I don’t care.

No admission. It’s clear there is already a HoF ban on Roiders. Arod is an a-hole. If they break the ban, it ought to be for someone of better character.

I support starting a baseball Hall of Infamy. To qualify you have to have great lifetime stats, but have dishonored the game. Finally a place for players like shoeless Joe Jackson, Pete Rose, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Mark McGuire, etc. to get their due recognition.

I was marinated in Yankee hatred growing up as the product of a mixed marriage (NY Giants + Brooklyn Dodgers). Between the year I was born and the year I turned 14, the Yankees were in thirteen world series, and won 8.

That having been said, I agree that anybody can name 20 Yankees better than A Rod.
