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

This blackballing of steroid era players is antithetical to the mission of the hall.
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.

As such, the sportswriters taking a hard line against alleged juicers are failing in their role as a voting population.
No they are not. Not voting for someone who cheated is perfectly kosher.

Frick the HoF. I choose who to remember who was truly great at the game. I'll always remember watching the years of McGwire, Sosa, and Bonds. Childhood favorites such as Piazza, Pudge, and Clemens. I'll pay no mind to any voter who votes with a personal bias from past to present.

Most have childhood heros who they celebrate to this day knowing they "enhanced their playing experience" via unfair advantages. Yet with in the same breath they criticize and declare players using modern day "enahancements" will never be voted into the HOF. That is called hyprocisy you fricking **** idiot.
