762 HR and not in the HOF would be silly no matter what........

I guess my point is that the fact that he is seen to have tarnished a sacred record actually works against him, not for him.

They should all be in.  It's the league's fault for not testing for steroids, not the players' fault.  You wouldn't leave a pitcher out because he scuffed the ball.

Metal King

I mean it would just baffle the mind if there was never a Bonds in the Hall of Fame, with those numbers, even despite juicing.

Gary Sheffield ended with 509 homers, he probably won't make it......  500 homers doesn't mean much these days.  Pretty soon we'll have a dozen or so eligible HOF'ers with 500+ HR who won't make it in.

Metal King

I'm still just FUCKING PUZZLED as to why Biggio and Piazza didn't make it on their first tries, even though they played through the steroid era......

Piazza greatest hitting catcher ever (and 427 Home Runs), and Biggio 3,000 + Hits and 1,844 Runs, plus top 7 or 8 in Doubles.......

Oh I know they'll get in, probably well before their 5th attempts, but these two guys were obvious first-balloters.

There were rumors that Piazza had bacne.  Seriously, there were writers who refused to vote for him based on that.

Also rumors he was gay. Everyone hates an alleged gay juicer

Metal King

Bonds likely.  Hey, the guy won 3 (THREE) MVP's through 1993, and he was only a Giant for one of those years.

Who would have guessed he'd win four more.......

Metal King

Oops.  Biggio is FIFTH all-time in Doubles, with 668, behind Speaker, Rose, Cobb and Musial.....

Do any really deserve it? Clemens is a jerk anyways, juiced or not. I suppose you could do as suggested, look at their numbers before it 'appears' they were juicing-but how is that reliable? If ya gotta cheat-ya aren't a HOFer
