Title: Bonds, Clemens & Sosa not elected to MLB Hall of Fame Post by: pmull on January 09, 2013, 02:13:47 PM The baseball writer's got this one right. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens will always be associated with steroid use. Sammy Sosa does not belong there anyway.
Quote Steroid-tainted stars Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa have been denied entry to the Baseball Hall of Fame with voters failing to elect any candidates for only the second time in four decades. A candidate must receive 75 percent of the vote from the voting members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America in order to be inducted. In totals announced Wednesday by the Hall and the BBWAA, Bonds, baseball’s only seven-time Most Valuable Player, received 36.2 percent of the vote. Clemens, the only seven-time Cy Young Award winner got 37.6 percent; Sammy Sosa received just 12.5 percent. They were appearing on the ballot for the first time and have up to 14 more years to make it to Cooperstown. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/baseball-hall-of-fame-announcement-no-player-elected-to-class-of-2013-010913 Title: Re: Bonds, Clemens & Sosa not elected to MLB Hall of Fame Post by: bamalum67 on January 09, 2013, 04:37:16 PM I would not vote for the pukes either. Imagine what Mick could have accomplished if he had had access to the drugs these guys took...but he would have never done it.....would ya Mick?

He wasn't exactly a dominant player but he was a classsy guy and played hard for a long time. A credit to the game and the kind of guy you want kids to look up to.

I agree with McBaman. I think Biggio should get in, and I am also for Tim Raines getting in, though he looks like a longshot. |
