Bonds, Sosa and Clemens to appear on hof ballot for the first time

[Popi]

The writers are just as much a part of the steroid era.

They knew what was going on.

Read a Verducci SI article about McGwire in 98....its gonna be a slurp job and a half.

Can you feel the pull? America is a Baseball Nation again, and Mark McGwire is the head of state, which explains why every time he marches to bat at Busch Stadium in St. Louis every fan rises to his feet out of respect and awe.

BBWAA needs to be disbanded. There is no credibility left.

Besides all the obvious names mentioned, I'm still disappointed Jack Morris hasn't gotten in yet. I know he's borderline, but he pitched the greatest game ever in the 1991 WS.

I want to know what message these old pompus fakkits are trying to send here is...There are tons of known or suspected cheaters already in the HOF...On top of that none of these guys shunned today broke any rules of the game...

So WTF were these worthless POS writers trying to prove with this?

They should all have their vote revoked...

That they have a vote and you don't. Woody Paige actually said some shyt along those lines a couple years ago when this subject came up on ATH. He basically said that he didn't have to have a reason or proof because he gets to vote.

Oh the irony of them tarnishing the credibility of the Hall in their attempt to preserve it's "sanctity".

This is why baseball will always be behind football and basketball. These writers are so uppity and "traditional" that they are sparta kicking the one of the most exciting eras into the bushes.

Basketball is almost as bad for the opposite reason. They'll let almost anyone in. Kyrie Irving RIGHT NOW would get Hall of Fame votes.

Unless you're Bernard King. In his case, fukk em.

Barry Bonds will get in, but it will take a VERY long time for it to happen. Clemens and Piazza will get in

I don't think SOSA ever gets in and there are suspicions that McGwire was roided up his whole career.

Exactly. All them mothafukkas turned a blind eye to the shyt. Gonna be interesting to see how many of them don't get into the Hall because of that shyt.

How the fukk are you a great reporter when you either didn't know about or didn't expose the rampant steroid use?

"Bu..but...but they broke the law."

 

[Jerz-2]

There was a thread about this on last year, and in that thread I TOLD fools that NONE of these cats were gonna get in.

Wish I could up that thread.

Still love going to the park and watching the game but be real brehs, fukk baseball & the writers. You simply can't take their HOF serious. I mean look at it, almost 300 members inducted (give or take 50-60 members voted in by veteran's committee) and these the same breed of muthafukkas who only gave Jackie Robinson 77% of the vote (and it's only 19 inductees with a fewer voting % than him ) and won't vote Pete Rose in or took 37 years to allow Larry Doby in or didn't even think about admitting Buck O'Neil but marginal muthafucas like Wade Boggs, Robin Yount & Bert Blyleven...Blyleven got more % votes than Jackie fukkin Robinson brehs Think about that shyt...

 

[ExodusNirvana]

The baseball writers who have HOF votes are all terrible human beings. Everyone in that era (except Emperor Jeter the Gawd) used steroids. Not voting anyone in this year will never change that.

Bonds is a top 5 player of all time!!!!!!!!! My favorite player ever, and I'm a Red Sox fan

 

[Street Knowledge]

Wait till they put in someone who they think is clean and find out later he cheated

 

[Cladyclad]

Baseball is a joke. I hope hockey get they ish together and this Black kid cum thru m destroy the buildings. And hopefully knock baseball boring ass down.

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

How did NO ONE make the god damn HOF? Jesus

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

Wait till they put in someone who they think is clean and find out later he cheated

if you believe Jose Canseco then that person is Rickey Henderson

 

[Savior]

Damn it was even worse than I thought. Looks like Bonds and Clements never getting in unless they change voting rules. Baseball brought it on itself tho...baseball writers acting way too high on their own power. Just as many people juice in the NFL shiet prolly more and the NBA aint too far behind. Just nobody gives a fukk
