should
players that have done steroids be inducted to the hall of fame. this has bin
one of the biggest stories for sports. for the first time since 1996 the
MLB HALL OF FAME will have no one inducted this year .out of 37 candidates
there was not a single vote for any one. the ballot was loaded with tons of
talent but because they did steroids they got no ones vote for the hall of
fame. here are a couple names of players i think should be inducted no matter
one. barry Bonds the all-time home run leader
with 762. Roger Clemens, a storied righthander with 354 wins. Biggio,
a second baseman with 3,060 hits.Sammy Sosa, the only slugger to bash more than
60 homers in three different seasons and who totaled 609 in his career.Piazza,
who hit 396 of his 427 homers as a catcher the most of any player at that
position in Major League history.There will still be an induction
ceremony in Cooperstown, N.Y., on July 28. Longtime Yankees owner Jacob
Ruppert, turn-of-the-20th-century umpire Hank O'Day and 19th-century catcher
Deacon White were elected to the Hall last month by the PreIntegration
Committee, and their memories and heirs will be honored on that date. All three
are deceased."When no player is elected or cases like that you're not
going to have the crowds you normally would," Idelson explained. "It
has an adverse affect on Hall of Fame weekend. Fortunately the Cooperstown
season is more than that weekend. For that weekend we'll do what we need to do
to now enhance the ceremonies."Moreover, to penalize players exonerated in
legal proceedings and others never even implicated is simply unfair. The Hall of Fame is supposed
to be for the best players to have ever played the game. Several such players were
denied access to the Hall today. Hopefully this will be rectified by
future voting."
