As we know, the steroid era of baseball really put a lot of shame on a lot of major leaguers who otherwise would be first-ballot HOF guys.

Should guys like Bonds, Clemens get in?

What do you think on each guy?

Bonds?

Clemens?

McGuire?

Sosa?

Manny Ramirez?

Rafael Palmeiro?

Ivan Rodriguez?

Alex Rodriguez?

Jeff Bagwell?

Garry Sheffield?

David Ortiz?

I'm sure I'm forgetting quite a few more.

Heck, if Frank Thomas gets in, mainly because he was one who didn't, I think a lot of these guys above could easily equal Thomas' numbers without the roids.

Bonds, A-Rod, and Clemens definitely belong in. I think McGuire and Sosa would've reached 500 easily without it. McGuire for sure. Not sure on Sosa.

I think Manny would've as well.

Thoughts?

Mike

everyone was on the same playing field or had those opportunities. Let them all in. But who honestly cares about the Hall of Fame??? Serious question. When is the last time you and your buddies went to the HoF? Does it change your perception of a player? Do you think less of a player bc he was 5 votes shy of the HoF? When talking players to your kids, do you start off with HoF first?
