I did not think Belle was linked with steroids.

Complete speculation: notorious for unprovoked crazy outbursts? Prominent slugger in the mid-late 1990’s? Career cut short by injury? Caught cheating on several occasions?
I mean... |

One of his teammates said that all his bats were corked.

Do Roger Maris or Albert Belle belong in the HOF
That's crazy! I believe Sports Science, or a show along those lines debunking the corked bat. Was a very interesting episode.

A vote for Belle only. He's out in the cold simple because the sportswriters don't like him. Not that I blame them, he was a horse's ass.
On Roger, if he had stroked out at 59 I don't think we're having this poll. Nice player and I liked him alot, and that's coming from a lifetime Yankee hater. |

I'm comfortable with neither being in but I think Belle is the more deserving of the two (even with the nostalgia factor going for Roger Maris). I wouldn't be overly oupset if Belle eventually gets in though.
Honestly, of the guys in that "limbo" state where they don't quite have the numbers to justify inclusion I'd rather see a Dale Murphy or someone like that get in before those two.

I don't understand the votes in favor of Maris other than romanticism.

To the original question. They both deserve to be in the HOF as much as I do, only with paid admission to look at the greats of the game. |
