PEDs
Tony- again, an interesting post. You are right in that people's opinions vary,
no doubt about that. When it comes to something I enjoy, I do my best to
form those opinions with as much fact/thoughtful discourse as I possibly
can. For what this is worth, I'll add my 2 cents:
1) I don't think Bonds OR Aroid should ever see the Hall. Rodriguez' entire
career is called into question due to proven abuse. Bonds' most famous
accomplishment is as well. Their "Fame" is supposed to be the direct
result of their baseball acumen, and that acumen is dirty- period.
2) Not a big fan of retroactively going back to analyze members who are
already HOF. My point in this exercise is to do it right with the
candidates we see now- ones "we" (fans, voters, writers) can actually do
something about. If people complain that the Hall contains players who
"shouldn't be in", then how can any reasonable response be an open
door policy where obvious and prolonged misbehavior continues to be
downplayed?
