Pudge has never officially been caught or admitted to using steroids, like Bonds and Clemens. Same with Piazza. Same with Bagwell.


I get that, but I don't see how that matters to the supposed expert writers. If steroid use is a big enough reason to keep Bonds and Clemens out, then I don't see how you can overlook the circumstantial evidence with Pudge and put him in on the first ballot. The inconsistency is what pisses me off about the HOF.

i dont think its that egregious. I find myself agreeing with that line of thinking. I think its a lot easier to say. Its a pretty hard decision

About 50% of voters wanted Pudge, Clemens & Bonds.
25% Didn't vote for any of the 3
25% voted for Pudge, but not Clemens or Bonds.

Your issue is with about 25% of the writers.
