Voting Rules won't change for the Steriod Era

The other day I was watching non other than ESPN, and couldn't help to notice the little ticket that scrolls across the bottom. "MLB- Hall of Fame doesn't plan to alter voting rules for steroids era." With the possibly growing that two of baseball's greatest home run hitters and ninth-winning est pitcher will be further ensnared in the steroids scandal. Should "steroid-era" records such as those of Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez and Roger Clemens be accompanied by an asterisk or should they not be aloud in? In my opinion, i think there are less major leaguers that didn't take any growth hormones than ones that did. there coaches have to know that there on something. i mean come on they just blow up one day and just start dropping bombs out of the park. But why would the coach rat them out. they wouldn't because if their hitting grand slams or pitching the last few innings to secure the win it doesn't matter to them as long as their winning. A lot of it comes from us the viewers the fans. we can never get enough of it. nothing is never good enough. We want to see high scoring games, strike outs, and home runs. to answer these demands some resorted to taking supplements. its not to far to the old timers that got all the records fair in square. Even though today these ball players should be aloud into the hall of hame but maybe they should have a little * to their name. ha

  1. I feel you Sun, but the only thing i am against when it comes to discrediting their stats are, how do we know when the steroid era actually started to go back to that exact point to start erasing stats from there. I think pro baseball and Selig definitely turned a blind eye to it because not just chicks dig the long ball EVERYONE DOES. Baseball is in a very scandalous state right now and i think how they handle this A-Rod phiasco will tell the tale of how the mlb plan to move out of this steroid era. and 1 last thing all these so called legends and hall of famers getting called out in steroid scandals really make me and should make you appreciate Ken Griffey Jr. that much more never been accused put on anyone's list or had a positive test. It just goes to show you what your body should do after a long, great, hard fought, career it should BREAKDOWN like his started doing about 7 years ago
