Baseball opinions

My name is Murrell and here's my take on baseball, steroids, and the Hall of Fame.  First off, I hate the agenda the baseball writer's have when voting on the Hall of Fame.  Basically since guys like Ruth and Gehrig didn't get in unanimously, they have taken it upon themselves to make sure that nobody every will.  That means that somebody will NOT vote for Derek Jeter or Albert Pujols when it's time to vote for them.  I'd like to hear someone justify that.  Both were the key players on multiple World Championship teams, have numerous awards and records, and neither have been linked to steroids. 

Speaking of steroids and Hall of Fame voting, I think that unless someone has clearly tested positive AND served a suspension, I don't think we can hold steroid against them for a Hall of Fame vote.  There's a lot of revisionist history regarding PED's and baseball.  Remember how everyone defended Mark McGwire in '98?  People liked to point out anything he took A) Wasn't against the rules or B) Was available at GNC (at least back then it was) so it couldn't be that bad.  Bottom line for me is that McGwire didn't break any rules.  And as much as people hate him, for all we know, neither did Barry Bonds.  Manny Ramirez, Rafael Palmeiro, they tested positive and served a suspension beacuse they broke a rule. 

I think Bob Knight asks a great question on this issue.   "What if MLB decides tomorrow that Gatorade is a performance enhancer?"  Can we go back and criticize everyone who every took Gatorade?

Thanks for reading.
