    If Bonds goes in, Clemens has to go too right? I don't understand the argument to include one but not the other. "Yes, you can make the HOF if you cheat but only if by cheating you become the single best player"?

    Yeah this is definitely why the old ass men will vote in schilling

    Can’t see how Arod gets voted in when Manny hasn’t yet as both guys have been suspended twice for PEDs.

    You're 100% right but A-Rod is better and also the voters are real dumb

    If Bonds has gotten this close I feel like A-Rod eventually gets in? Wouldn't bet on it though. Is there any question about Ortiz? He's in. Teixeira nah.

    I have no idea how concrete the roids allegations are against Ortiz but upon reflection he's actually probably more likely to get in quickly than A Rod right?

    Yeah Ortiz is going to be interesting. I think he’s a HOFer but I can see angry statheads not voting for him because he was only a DH and it took Edgar Martinez X amount of years to finally make it and thus will hold that against Ortiz.

    Both Manfred and the previous Commissioner I think it was Michael Weiner both came out and said the leaked story of Ortiz being on the 2003 sample test was false.

    Honestly just put them all in. Clemens, Manny, Bonds and Arod. They were some of the greatest players ever. Put on their plaque that Arod and Manny failed two PED tests and just move on with it.

    The HOF has no problem putting Selig in (when all the PED stuff was going on under his watch but neither he or the owners cared because they were getting richer and it was only after Congress got involved that they started with the testing) but yeah let’s keep the best hitter ever out and one of the best pitchers out because they were most likely taking something that wasn’t against the rules at the time.

    I forget who I heard put it like this recently (maybe the foolish baseball dude?) but basically regardless of someone's ~~nuanced~~ steroids take, if we're not gonna have Bonds and A Rod in the HoF then honestly why even have a hall. There's no point imo

    You forget that Teixeira almost never missed a game til his durability fell off a cliff the last four or five years. Also the shift destroyed him, could've been in otherwise. Was painful watching him try to pull homers every at bat last few years lol

    He was even better than Edgar so I hope no one rationalizes leaving him off like this. But again voters are dumb so
