Personally I would like to see Clemmons, Bonds and Rose in HOF. The HOF voters have too many sticks up their ....

But DJT has more important things to do. Then again it doesn’t take much time or energy to tweet

Trump is for it, so all the libtards (including many sports writers) will be against it.

Clemens was also hurt by being a jerk. To his credit, he’s much more of a gentleman as he’s gotten older, unlike Rose.

I knew the HOF should have gone with my suggestion of not letting Pete Rose in until hell freezes over.

Roger Clemens Interviews with José Canseco and trainer Brian McNamee stated that Clemens used human growth hormone, Deca-Durabolin, Winstrol, Sustanon, and possibly Anadrol, during the 1998, 2000, and 2001 MLB seasons, some of which he obtained through McNamee from Radomski. Radomski corroborated these allegations as far as to say that he sold performance-enhancing drugs to McNamee in amounts that were clearly for redistribution. Clemens declined interview.[29] On December 18, Clemens (through his agent) denied taking steroids, human growth hormone, or any other banned substance(s) in his life. He stated that his opinion of such substances were “a dangerous and destructive shortcut that no athlete should ever take.” Clemens said he would publicly address all of Mitchell’s questions at the appropriate time.[30]
On December 23, Clemens issued an unconditional denial through YouTube.[31]

Clemens told his side of the story in an interview on CBS’ “60 Minutes” that aired on January 6, 2008. Furthermore, Clemens’ attorney’s law firm is conducting its own investigation into the allegations.[32] On the night that the 60 Minutes interview aired, Clemens filed a defamation suit against McNamee in a Texas state court, and one of McNamee’s attorneys responded by saying that McNamee would likely countersue in New York.[33]

I know that but it's probably only a matter of time now.

I'm not sure if I believe the denials of those players named in the Mitchell Report. Everyone was given immunity and they were all encouraged to rat out their teammates.

What troubles me most about that time is that the steroid era essentially brought the MLB back from the abyss from their strike in 1994, and cancelation of the World Series that year. By 1998, when McGwire and Sosa were filling seats and lifting TV ratings, the baseball owners had no desire to slow down what everyone knew were ridiculous stats. They were complicit, even if they didn't encourage it, they definitely looked the other way, and profited greatly. Then, they had the gall to throw those players under the bus.

Pete Rose, of course, is a different story.

I’m against all 3. Trump is playing politician here. Doesn’t hurt. If anything it helps him with the sports fans. Peel a few off.

what can I make up about you. I know I can claim you voted for Biden and Pamala Haris....Pretty sure what I just said is pure bull shit but it’s so easy to lie about people you don’t know because there is always someone that just wants to believe bullshit... I don’t know you at all, but my guess is you are in no position to know one way or the other about Roger Clemens and steroid use.

They knew what they were doing. You don’t think they knew who Joe Jackson was?
