Couple of years ago they were saying the steroid cheaters would never get in now the young liberals are replacing old conservatives in the voting and most “experts” are saying all the steroid cheaters will get in soon. I basically quit watching baseball when these overpaid airheads starting muscling up and started hitting 5 times as many homers as they hit in previous years not on their natural ability but on drugs that make them bigger and stronger. When Bonds and Clemens, Sosa and the rest of the cheaters go in the Hall of Fame I am 100% done with baseball. There’s no incentive at all for a young kid to keep himself clean and be great on his God-given ability. It all comes out of a bottle of pills now or a syringe stuck in your arm.

I’m 67 years old now and I’ll continue to recognize Hank Aaron as the home run king. Only a matter of time before the game allows women to play on men’s team. After all, we have to be “inclusive” in all things.

It’s only a HoF. I’m not letting it take away my enjoyment, even with the PEDS stiffs it would still be the best one any how.

Seems like hitting and and homeruns have been way down for the last few seasons. That doesn’t mean it’s clean for sure. But if it’s there it isn’t affecting the game the same way it used to. The last few years have been very exciting baseball seasons, the game is pretty good now, despite the terrible 2 strike approach that has become popular.

MYbe has m wrong about this, but aren’t the HOF vote totals declining each year for some of these notorious steroid users? That’s probably a good sign.
