Okay, So Maybe It's Not Completely Over With Me...
THIS is the way to solve the dilemma of how to deal with the entire steroids issue.
" Keeping known rule-breakers outof Cooperstown would be a lot more effective deterrent than putting asterisks alongside their records, to be disregarded by those who are "non-judgmental." "

Makes all kinds of sense to me!

I completely agree. If they keep Rose out for betting AFTER his career as a player, they certainly can't let players in who cheated to get an unfair advantage over others WHILE they were playing.
By the way, I'm just starting a new blog.

I concur. That ought to keep Selig out, too.
Of course it's too good of an idea to happen.

My only thing is I don't think we can keep guys out that have the suspicion of using. So how do you handle that? Surely there was a lot of guys using that we've never heard of. Interestingly I'd say more than 2/3 of the names on the report have no shot at the Hall with or without being on that report.

The problem with that idea is that players who used steroids before 2003 but not afterwards did not break any MLB rules, and that's most of the players in question.
