Why one and not the other?

I'm with gjbk1 on this one.

I think you have to ask yourself this question in two steps.

1. Eliminate the steroid aquisations and determine if the raw numbers qualifies them.

2. Determine the proven guilt of each player for the use of banned drugs at the time in question.

If you answer YES to #1 and NO to #2 then they should go in under the HOF rules. One month ago I was NO to both players. After listening to both sides my gut feeling is they're both guilty as helll, but until they are convicted of a crime they should be judged innocent. If you put the shoes on your feet in a situation with like results what would your take be then? They could always be removed from the Hall if the evidence comes forth.
