Definitely
He was never caught cheating

 

[swyyyguy]

Absolutely. I played shortstop for the Mariners in little league. He was my idol growing up.

yes he was. There's a reason why he was out all last year.

has nothing to do with it. I'm not saying he doesn't have the numbers.

At least guys like Bonds, Clemens, Sosa, etc. can say they never failed a test or got busted when the rules got more stringent. Even if they did do roids (which they did), that was a baseball oversight that shouldn't be held against them. In the case of A-Rod, Palmeiro and ESPECIALLY Manny, if you're getting caught or linked to these roid labs after these rules got put in place, you deserve what you're gonna get

 

[BlueHeffner]

He wont get in unfortunately

 

[Amphibious]

He should be. All pro sports athletes use PEDs, but they only punish those who irritate the higher ups.

Here's my thoughts on the whole PED issue: as time and technology progress, time will look kindly on PED users as we move forward into areas like gene doping, biomechanical modifcation, etc as pioneers. A-Rod was a great when many people were using steroids. I'd have no issue voting him in the HOF
