They'll vote McGwire in, just not on the first ballot, because there's no way they'll not vote Bonds in.

Actually I think McGwire will get in next year.
Appearances not withstanding, the bottom line is he never failed a drug test, he was a fan favorite, and he has the numbers to warrant admission.
Sure, there will be some writers who will leave him off thier ballots, but I will venture he gets close to 80% or More.
Ripken may be the first player to ever get Unanimous selection (if not he will be 98%+) and Gwynn will get 90-95%.

I would have thought McGwire on the first ballot, but his performance before Congress killed that.
Maybe on the second, but I've read that many voters took his evasive non-denials as an admission that he took steriods. He blew it, big time.

Given the pathetic state of the franchise these days, all Orioles fans have is tradition and memories. Sigh. Isn't that the truth. I haven't been to an O's game since Cal's last game.
