Is it any wonder that's he's retiring now? He hit the most vicious line drive single to a 3rd baseman I had ever seen in my life, anyone else would have had a line drive out. Sosa had terrible acne as a side effect, something which I've seen referred to once, and not mentioning Sosa by name.

I have no problem with Bonds and Palmerio getting elected to the Hall of Fame. As it's been pointed out, pitchers have used and benefited from steroid use as well.

No one complains that Burleigh Grimes is in the Hall of Fame, yet he had the advantage of using the spitball throughout most of his career while the opposing pitcher was forbidden to use that pitch. A much better argument can be made Grimes had an unfair advantage as opposed to Palmerio and Bonds.
