peter ullmanpeter...I think "character" is considered in hof voting. That said...Adam is right...if Big Mac admitted one way or the other most people would have some/more respect for him and he's be more likely to be voted in. No matter what stats Bonds ends up with...if he's proven beyond a shadow of a doubt he's guilty...he may not ever get in.
I'm not saying I agree with this...but the late 80's-90's and beyond in baseball will be known as the steroid years and the greatest players of the era...should be admitted to the hall.
I personally think the different characters and circumstances of the era that helped shape the players adds spice to the history of the game and makes it interesting. If all players were as boring as Awad...how lame would baseball be?
