Sound Off: Should Steroid Users Get in the HOF?

[icemanfrost]

No but
Barry Bonds should for two reasons
1. He won multiple MVPs and was a sure ballot HOF before steroids
According to the very person that accused him of using and his supplier gave the time frame when he was using
2. He never was caught or found guilty of using anything

But I could make a case for yes cause Baseball pimped the players meaning they knew they where using but they had just came back off an lockout and needed fans and rating so keep cranking homeruns got our fans back now we have to get rid of you all lol
Also drugs in baseball isn't anything new back in the day they were using then
Baseball is so full of it for example classic greats like babe Ruth could come to the game drunk and other things and get praised but now they want to turn around and talk about role models and steroids
When it comes to the interest of kids and what they see i would rather have steroids than alcoholics
And dont tell me its not that simple cause do what they see look up how many people got cancer or anything else cause they wanted to chew tobacco like the pros do

There's no media or public outcry over all the NFL PED users who are inducted into the NFL HOF each year, so my answer to the question is yes. Bunch of hypocritical baloney.

[BleacherBum2310]

Absolute yes for me.

[LingeringRegime]

Of course they shouldn't.

No. And any of the guys with records that have an asterisk should have those revoked as well. Roger Maris is still the home run king in my mind.

Yes. Baseball players used drugs to gain an advantage long before steroids hit the scene in the early 70's. MLB, its teams and most writers allowed this to go on for years while looking the other way.

A-Rod, Bonds and The Rocket all belong in the HOF. For MLB and its writers to judge now because of PED use is hysterical. What a joke.

Maris' record once had an asterisk itself.

Football stats are meaningless. In baseball it ties generations of players together.
