Which current voters knowingly voted for known cheaters and are hard lining against juicers in the Hall? List some names or your point holds no water


It's not a question of names, it's a question of principle. This blackballing of steroid era players is antithetical to the mission of the hall. As such, the sportswriters taking a hard line against alleged juicers are failing in their role as a voting population.

As for the second part, I'm not particularly invested in determining whether or not there's hope for you because it's abundantly clear you're a pretentious dumbass.

Nothing wrong with the principle. The current writers are not hypocrites.

it would be antithetical to the mission of the museum (which includes plenty of Pete Rose stuff, for instance, as well as the B*nds ball), but it isn't antithetical to the mission of the hall. Inclusion in the hall is decided by election. Inclusion in the museum is decided, more or less, by existence and significance.

No they are not. Not voting for someone who cheated is perfectly kosher.
