I'm sure there were some clean players, but I'd bet it's a small minority. That's why this practice of arbitrarily leaving players out of the HOF because of who the writers think might have juiced is ridiculous. Vote everyone in whose numbers say they deserve to be in. The HOF is a museum, and leaving these players out is robbing future generations of baseball history.

Should be first ballot:
Johnson
Martinez

Should get in this time:
Biggio
Piazza

I think will get left off because baseball writers/voters are pretentious pricks:
Smoltz (I think he deserves first ballot though)

He did but his body started breaking down early, without steroids does he play 16 years or when he is 29 does his body fail him enough to where he doesn't hit 403 home runs after his age 30 season

Adam Rubin has his ballot ready

Here is my Hall of Fame ballot. I used all 10 slots I was allotted, and still was unable to fit Lee Smith (whom I voted for two years ago, but now do not have room to include).

First-year candidates Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez and John Smoltz get my vote. So does Mike Piazza, the ex-Met who garnered 62.2 percent of the vote a year ago -- within striking distance of the 75-percent threshold. The others: Jeff Bagwell, Craig Biggio, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Tim Raines and Curt Schilling.
