Interesting dynamic forming on this question over just a few years on this site and I'd be willing to bet it is also taking place in the baseball fan community at large also. Already, more and more fans for various reasons seem to be willing to forget about the steroid question and just go with players who put up big numbers regardless. I kind of thought it might take a generation or so, maybe twenty years before enough people would just decide to accept the steroid era for what it was and elect the best players of that era. But now I see more posters are just starting say they will ignore the advantage players gained. Now I'm starting to feel the first positive steroiders will be in within five years max. We Americans just love to watch our heroes fail us, tear them down and then forgive them later. Very Interesting
I still feel Rose will not see the Hall of Fame in his lifetime.
