These types of threads are amusing...nothing against the OP because he didn't stir the pot or anything, but it's about some of the following responses. I don't like cheaters either, but it's funny how many people on here that don't realize or don't care that many HOFers already admitted that they cheated or they've been revealed otherwise.

I think if they get caught, they should pay a penalty...suspension, fine, whatever. But in reality, the numbers speak for themselves. No one is hitting the homeruns, driving in runs, stealing bases, other than the actual players. David Ortiz was struggling mightily at the beginning of this year and a lot of people wrote him off and then, boom! He found his swing and he's been on a tear ever since. Why?? Because he's a monster of a hitter and he found a way out of the dreadful slump. His numbers speak for themselves, so I'm not debating on whether he's a HOFer or not, because according to his numbers, he is. Whether he's a HOFer in anyone else's mind is irrelevant, but it does make for a good conversation.

Bottom line is if you don't think he's a HOFer because he was a cheater, then you need to list all of the "cheater's" that are already in the HOF and make sure you call them out as well...otherwise, you are a hippocrite.
