The Baseball Hall of Fame ballot is out and the list goes on and on with former juice heads. The list is headlined with literally the biggest juicer of them all Barry Bonds. This guy’s melon went from a size six and half to an eight in his playing days.
Others on the ballot include Sammy Sosa, Roger Clemens, Craig Biggio, and others.
It will be tough for any player that played from 1987-20?? to get in the Hall of Fame without anyone questioning the steroid topic. Three of the people I have mentioned are among the biggest offenders, Sosa, Bonds, and Clemens.
The steroid era is a tricky one for all Hall of Fame voters. Who did it and who didn’t? We will never know.
Here is my feeling on the whole thing. If you have been linked to anything that looks, smells, or taste like a steroid, you should not be voted in. They cheated the game, they cheated the fans, and they cheated the few clean players they played against.
There were players that were clean too. These guys busted their behinds their entire lives to get to the show and then they make it and they are facing Arnold Shwarzenegger in baseball uniforms.
It was not fair then and still is not fair now, because it continues today.
Will the clean players be shuffled in with the juice heads? Absolutely! But these players should have blown the whistle on steroids before they came so prevalent.
I do not have a vote. If I had a vote, I know how I would vote if they came to me.
Not one of all of these juice heads would get in the Hall of Fame.
No juice for me.
