should steriod takers be allowed in the mlb hall of fame





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."
