I liked the tears... it was a nice touch...
No Maguire, Sosa, Palmero, Clements in the hall... Just my opinion...

Right.... if he wasn't playing in the steriod era of baseball he would have made smarter choices. I guess he is a victim of his environment.

Congrats Maverick0714, on achieving Old TImers status. Took over 2 years to reach the position, hopefully Driller Man will take notice.
Mav0714 - tough call to hold out the names mentioned. It would seem they are just better known
faces in a large steriod using crowd. If they can't get in, then all players during that era shouldn't be allowed in. Not saying ALL players used, but a whole lot more players used than these 4. I like the idea of being allowed in with the asterisk next to records suspected of drug influence. Example - HR leaders over Maris's record during the steriod era get the asterisk. I can't ignore the truth and I can't support selective enforcement. Again Tough call.

Then if that's the case, they should let Pete Rose in!!!! I don't think his offense was nearly as bad as steroids!
Thanks Old School... lol... I didn't even notice the Old Timers status...
I just picked these 4 because they are probably the most well known of that era. It is a tough call and I'm sure everyone has their own opinion about who should get in and who shouldn't.
I think baseball is the best sport and I would hate to see it tarnished by these so called great atheletes.
Like I said... Just my vote on the subject...

I Agree 100%
What's the line on Charlie Hustle getting in... Surely Vegas is taking bets...
If so, Pete will take some of that action!
