I actually lean towards that position myself. What rules did McGwire actually break? Sure he looked bad in front of the Senate Hearings, but is that enough to keep him out?

Two issues for me. 1) When he declined to answer under oath 2) look at McGuire today vs. when he played. He is much smaller. Wonder why . . .

In the spirit of the St. Louis Cardinals and for the integrity of the game he should never be elected to the HOF.

He looked bad because that's how the media portrayed McGwire. They focussed on the family whose son used steroids and died. They transferred the death of their son onto Mark.

Ridiculous standard.
