It’s only a matter of time, they won’t be able to keep him out forever. The numbers are just too obscene and he was great long before roids.

Also, regardless of what he was using, his run from 2001-2004 is still the greatest 4 year stretch any athlete in any sport has ever had. His OPS of 1.422 in 2004 is the most mind-boggling statistical achievement ever.

I enjoy the yearly melt from giants fans so I hope it never happens. Yes, that's petty. But I'm only human

It is really dumb he isn’t in I agree,

But it will be ARod because he is somehow likeable now that he dates jlo and does broadcasting

Bonds, McGwire, Clemens, A Rod, and Pete Rose all deserve to be in the HOF today.

Pete Rose will get the Ken Stabler treatment. They'll put him in after he dies

Will it make for a really awkward moment when A Rod doesn't get in because of steroids while he's still big into the game and media?

McGwire doesn’t deserve shite. If he’s in may as well put Sosa, too. All he did was juice and hit bombs. The others on your list deserve to be in. A Rod and Bonds were two of the best to ever play with or without roids. What was McGwire without juice?

One of the Greatest hitters of All Time, even if he was on PEDs.
Put him in the Hall.

I’ve always seemed crazy that Canseco has never even gotten on the ballot. You got people that hit .250 with 225 career HRs on the ballot and Canseco has never even sniffed it. I know why, it’s just silly

He would have been in if he would have kept quiet especially if he could have got to 500 homeruns.

Pre steroids bonds was a HOFer already


Steroid bonds was hitting against steroid pitching.

Even before the steroid era, every MLBer was taking speed before every game but I don’t see them shunned


Cheating has been a part of baseballs history as much as the wooden bat has.

I truly believe Mac juiced his entire career back with Canseco in 1988 as a Bash Bro.

Bonds juiced late to the game because he thought he was becoming an afterthought after the 1998 season.

I would never put Big Mac in the Hall even if I was generous voter.
