Shaughnessy is the hack to end all hacks. The Globe should be embarrassed to employ him. I'm pretty sure the other writers that work there are...
This is what happens when we turn the HOF ballot into the morality police. Who did what? When? Who was clean? A Boy Scout?
Shaughnessy votes for Kent because he "knows" he's clean. I mean, we can't know. Pretending we can is absurd.
Not for nothing, but Kent had a 107 career OPS+ heading into his age 29 season...when he became teammates with a guy named Bonds. For the rest of his career, his OPS+ was 128 and he hit 299 of his 377 career home runs.
I'm in no way implying that Kent used PEDs...I have no idea. I'm just saying that saying "THIS is the guy I can vote for in good conscience" is pretty dumb.
