Orange Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Put all the roid users in or none of them. Hell, the only thing that made MLB watchable was the steroid era. These F-ing hypocrites count the money made from roids, then stand on ceremony to keep them out of the HofF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With hall of fame ballots being released publically starting next year i think you'll see a lot of the selectivity of voting in guys accused/known to have use PEDs while leaving others out to instantly disappear. That as well as those idiots who don't even have a guy like a Randy Johnson or Greg Maddux on their ballot because the whole "no one has ever gotten unanimously voted in before so I can't let him be the first" bs they think to themselves. I still don't know how Edgar Martinez isn't in the hall yet, people will bring up the DH aspect of it but I don't see that stopping them from voting in a guy like David Ortiz in a couple years and Edgar was just as good of a hitter.

glduck Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 my pudge rodriguez take is 100% PED-based, but i forgot that bud selig got inducted and therefore i forgot my own stance that the gates should be wide open for all the great players of the 90s who had heads the size of basketballs. WHEN HOT TAKES GO WRONG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaG Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I'm so happy Rock Raines finally got into the Hall. As someone who grew up playing in Strat-o-Matic leagues during vacations with my cousins, he was always a steal in the Strat draft because of his OBP and his ability to still bases. Plus he was a solid LF defensively and was great in the #1 or #2 spot in the batting order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExplorerSunDevil Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 A couple days late with this, but Yordano Ventura and Andy Marte both died on the same day in similar circumstances R.I.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExplorerSunDevil Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 In my opinion, the Pro-Baseball hall of fame is becoming too socialistic. Its feels like any player that plays in baseball for 10 years, does enough advertisements for his local media market and gets between 1,000 and 1,500 hits, hes essentially an early ballot hall of famer by today's standards WE may not be there yet, but I think that we are heading that direction.
