Lightbulb Who is more likely to get in the hall of fame first?

Will any of these guys be forgiven? Will any of them ever get in?

I believe you mean Pete Rose. I voted for "none" but if anyone gets in , it will be Rose. His records were legit and never in question as far as "roids" are concerned. His sins came after his days as a player were over. He should get in as a player only.

If he does and Rose doesn't, THEN it should be disbanded. Until (arguably) the best baseball player ever is inducted, Cooperstown is a fraud that has a name of "comparable" players but is missing the guy most would be compared to. Period.

I totally disagree. I could care less if that steroid using frak ever gets in. And he's a liar to boot. The only place he should be going is to prison.

Hall of Fame is about one thing and one thing only. What you did between the lines and there is no disputing what this guy did on the field. Roids were condoned by MLB because if they were not they would of fought tooth and nail to get them out of the game. Faye Vincent back in the late 80's knew of roids in the game, the owners and commisionner knew even more in the 90's and continued to put their head in the sand about it because "Chicks dig the Long Ball" which meant revenues for MLB.

MLB could give a rats ass about Roids because they were making money off the back of these athletes who were on them. Bonds on roids, yes but a couple of things. Before the roids started for Bonds he was already a HOF player, and two can anybody tell me how many pitchers he hit homeruns off of were on roids as well? Alot of pitchers seemed to lose some miles on their fastball and ability to rebound quicker when roids were finally started to be taken seriously.

I love these voters who are going to use morality as a reason why they will not vote for somebody when I would be willing to bet that a few of them have cheated on their own taxes and/or cheated on their own wives. I guess all of these voters are morally clean, LOL!!!!

Bondsw, McGuire, Clemmons, and Sosa, the "Roid Users" will not get in for a long time, if at all. Their play on the field was based on pills, not their ability, or at least that is the way the writers will see it. Three out of the four have also lied about it, and all could face jail time for that, which is what the three of them deserve.

I voted for Bonds because the media seems to enjoy blowing him.

Pete Rose not being in the HOF is an absolute joke. The guy has the most hits in the history of baseball.
