I think Big Papi is winning me over - even if I don't want him to

I agree on Perry but I looked at the list of HOFers that played from the 60's on up and I don't find a single name that I know of that was a cocaine user????

Of course that sage former second baseman Jeff Kent once said that he was pretty sure Babe Ruth used PEDs????????????????

I'm sure a ton of guys in the 80s were using cocaine, but I'm not sure which HOFers people are talking about. Either way, cocaine is not going to give you an immortal arm or allow you to hit 500 homers when before using cocaine you were a middling average player (like David Ortiz).

Also, if you really want to say that cocaine is a PED, how do you explain the drug's drastic effect on the careers of its users? Did Darryl Strawberry have a great career because he used cocaine? How about Doc Gooden?
