Frank is no holds barred...
they woke him up from his dugout nap for this comment.
I agree with Frank, but it won't happen. It can't. the MLB never tested for the stuff.
Porbably what would happen if the MLB sacked up and decided to wipe his stats is that Palmeiro would sue and with the basic lack of evidence that this WASN'T Palmeiro's first time with the roids, the MLB would be ordered to reinstate his records....
You're prolly right, but this should send a shiver down the spines of the guys using androgens...(the terms "steroids" is really less accurate than androgens or male hormones).
There is virtually nothing that baseball itself can do. I think we can all come to that conclusion...but the Hall of Fame can do something and likely will. Mark McGuire will be the first to feel their vote. He won't be going into the Hall of Fame. As Sammy Sosa comes up...as Barry Bonds comes up....as Palmeiro comes up...each will find few votes for the Hall. None of these fine gentlemen will enter the Hall. They will join Pete Rose. Baseball can play whatever game it wants on their records...they will likely all stand. But Baseball cannot protect them or guarantee entry into the Hall. I think this will be the punishment that each deserves.
