None of the steroid crowd are in the Hall. And probably won’t be. Of course the steroid thing has some interesting side topics. Most significantly being that for most of the steroid era roids weren’t against the rules. And then they were against the rules, but with no testing and no punishment schedule, which really isn’t against the rules. But none of them are in, and none of them are getting in any time soon.

That's going to change. Bonds and Clemens almost made it this year and just wait until Alex Rodriguez is eligible. East coast writers will fall all over themselves justifying his induction even though he's an admitted cheater.

The Red Sox are likely to be punished for cheating. The Yankees and Dodgers both have been suspected of it, even before the Astros issue exploded onto the media. Shall we punish them all? Shall we zero out all their wins? Or should we only punish those who fess up to breaking the rules?

Given this reaction, I don't think you'll see another team admit to cheating even though it is clear there was more than the Astros doing it.
