@Finn dAbuzz,
I would have to say, at the time being...I would have to agree, that since these drugs did alter their performances which directly contributes to their success, and predicates their entrance into the Hall...I would have to say that the moral thing to do would be to boot them out forever...
And not let them in with an asterik...And it is different than other dolts who did bad things but still played the game at a HOF level...And should be there despite being pricks...
But the problem to me is how to prove certain individuals have used them....
Since a couple have already lied to a grand jury...
But if they were to be let in...They should have some sort of blemish that says they were found to have cheated...So that it does not make it appear that they never existed in the game itself...
"A CHEATERS HALL OF FAME SHAME MAYBE?"
And your other point about rationizing a cheater cause of bias...I try not to do this...And hope I never do....
I liked Ryan Braun...And had some very valuable rookie Autographs of his...
I can't stand him anymore...Specifically because of the way he got off, and dodged the bullet because of a technical flaw in the legal system, in which he never desputed he cheated...
And I would sell the cards now, if I even thought I could get 3/4 what I paid for them....
And it seems to me...Another point I would like to say...Is that most who cheat now, knowing the consequences....Probably do it, cause they may not even care about the Hall Anymore...But because they want to produce for huge contracts....The money is just rediculous....And is probably a big reason why a lot even chose to cheat today, knowing it may ban them forever...And another reason why, is cause guys who are just not good enough, have no shot to make the hall...Or even play, but if they take steriods...They will at least play, and make a lot of money...till they get caught
What a jerk Canseco is...I mean Really...
I hate to say this...But I bet 80-90% take steriods in football...But at least there was no jerk*** who sold everyone out cause he was mad at baseball affliates....And we still love the game...Because we are not always hearing about another dude doping...And football keeps quiet about it...
