Steroid users may find place in Baseball Hall of Fame
If recent reports are to be believed, the Baseball Hall of Fame will very soon feature some of the greatest home run hitters in the history of the game who were using or accused of using steroids.
The admission of these players seemed inevitable from the start as ignoring the most dominant pitchers like Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens would have left the Hall of Fame almost empty and meaningless.
From Articles.wsbt.com:
Today Barry Larkin was the lone player elected in the class of 2012, leaving Mark McGwire (583 HR, 10th all-time) and Rafael Palmiero (569 HR, 12th all-time), both perceived to be steroid users, nowhere close to election.
Sooner or later, the prevailing theory among sportswriters will have to change. If they continue to punish suspected and proven steroid users, pretty soon nobody will be going into the Hall.
Bonds and Clemens were two players who brought baseball back into the national forefront in 1990s that was far more impressive than their career home run totals.
