Utter HOF Hypocrisy

Bill Madden knows more about baseball than I ever will, and he is right on the money when he dissects the reasons that Alex Rodriguez and David Ortiz don’t deserve entry into the Baseball Hall of Fame (Sun. 11/28/21). Along with Bonds, Clemens, Sosa and McGuire these guys represent the tainted “Steroids Era”, when the Lords of Baseball colluded to ignore the use of performance-enhancing drugs, in the hope that big power numbers would bring fans back to the game after the strike of 1994. On the other hand, with all due respect to Mr. Madden, if ex-Commissioner Bud Selig can be swept into the HOF, despite being the number one “see no evil” collaborator of the era, then there can be no justification for keeping any of these cheaters out.
