There are almost always line drawing problems but sometimes people are clearly on the wrong side of the line. Diaz was thrown out tonight for a foreign substance on his glove and he will be suspended. If he otherwise goes on to have a Hall of fame career do I think tonight should keep him out? No, although if he repeatedly gets caught I would listen to arguments. The steroid era guys at issue are not a close call. There was a major point of emphasis and rules put in place and these guys knowingly violated them and took steps to try to cover it up. Then there were lies to Congress that just added to the black mark. Bonds and Clemens were/are two of the best players to have ever played the game. Yet they played in and era that put an emphasis on no cheating via steroids and they said nope, f you.
