Bailey, I appreciate the dedication to ideological consistency. I'm really glad that you took the time to go through players' baggage and how you categorized the PED players around 28:45; it was really helpful to see those lines physically drawn out. The "steroid tax" is something I've been trying to articulate for a bit but could never find the wording as succinctly. Some of my experiences since last ballot have really led me to see Barry Bonds as someone who should be in the Hall of Fame (though I didn't know about the domestic violence allegations). The argument is usually that he's one of the best of all time, but the steroids diminish those accomplishments. I have taken to framing it the other way: yes, steroids are bad, but he's still one of the best with a bat ever. It's like being able to say the 2017 Astros were still really good despite the cheating that went on. I suppose the "steroid tax" argument should be fleshed out to Clemens, too, which isn't something I had considered before today. Another great video.

Great video, as always. One minor disagreement about Ortiz and Sosa: the vast majority of Sosa's production came during years when there was not rigorous testing and after testing became routine, he dropped off and retired. Ortiz showed up on the NYT list for 2003, but had a long and productive career well into the 2010s. I think it's easy to argue that we *know* Ortiz was a HOF-worthy hitter without PEDs, but we can't say that for certain about Sosa. Additionally, Ortiz's performances in the post season are so important to baseball history.

I get where you're coming from, but I personally don't play that game. It's too easy to retrofit career trajectories to rumors like this. You wouldn't suspect Sosa or Ortiz just looking at the numbers alone, but now that you know the leaked test exists, you go ahead and make some pretty strong assumptions. I don't like to make those assumptions.

@@FoolishBailey I appreciate the thoughtful reply! I guess where I'm coming from isn't actually making an assumption on guilt re: the 2003 test, but instead saying "what's the case for each player if that is IS indicative of impactful PED use and what's the case if it ISN'T." Even in the harshest reading of the NYT list, I think the implications have to be retrospective, i.e. reflecting only on performance up to that date. The part of Sosa's career that would be affected includes his best years by far. Whereas with Ortiz, it's a small portion of good years. Personally, I'm with you on the "tax" so to speak for suspected use. I guess just to me there's a heavier tax on Sosa's career then Ortiz's. Thanks again for all the great content!

I think the disparity between Ortiz and the other PED users is the timing relative to his career. Ortiz’s incident happened in 2003 and nothing occurred afterward. 2003 was really the start of the elite part of his career and he had 13 seasons from 2004-2016 where he was not only at his best and according to our current information, clean as well. I think that has to be taken into consideration. All allegations of cheating occurred before he became a “hall of fame caliber player”. That’s the separation between Sosa and Ortiz. Sosa’s PED stuff confirmed his past. Ortiz’s PED stuff is independent from his future

But cheating is cheating irregardless of whether they actually needed to do so. To truly be consistent, you need to treat all the cheaters the same way. While that's not truly possible as long as guys like Gaylord Perry (an admitted illegal spitballer) are in the Hall, we should at least be consistent with the modern candidates, whether you want to keep them all out or just completely ignore the character clause.

Did steriods make the difference. What changed between 2002 and 2003 to make him a much better player (and I know he was coming into prime years so that argument can be a partial answer)? You can say that he was never caught again but you can say he didn't use, you don't know as the cheaters have always been far ahead of the testers.

That’s exactly what my dad has always said. Bonds was just really annoyed that people were talking about McGwire and Sosa and not him in 1998 even though he was naturally the better player, so he started taking PEDs. And regarding HOF voting, he says basically just give PED users points for everything they did while not on PEDs, and ignore all their PED-influenced stats entirely.

@@Compucles I agree 100%. You could be the smartest person in the world. Rhodes Scholar and all that. But if you ace your whole career but then totally cheat your Thesis you ain't getting that Masters degree no matter what, same should be said for the HOF. Just because you didn't have to cheat to be great doesn't give you a pass for cheating... it actually may be worse. Also I hear that arguments that steroids doesn't hurt anyone but the person taking them. For anyone wanting to play professional at that time they had to make a choice. Either just use natural talent which should have been good enough or take steroids that could ruin their health permanently in order to stay on par with your competitors. Bonds didn't have to make that choice to be a pro. But countless others did because of him and others who previously made that choice.

Chalk down yearly hall of fame ballot/Foolish 50 as my new reasons to live Also my ballot would be the same other than having Buehrle and Abreu over Sosa and Ortiz. Sosa and Ortiz I think should be in, but in terms of urgency I care more about the other two. No chance Sosa makes the 17 to 75 percent jump so voting him feels like a waste, and if Ortiz doesn't make it right away he still has 9 years. Not worried about his chances

I think you convinced me that Sosa should be on the ballot and I think I'll keep Buehrle as my strategic vote. We can revisit Ramirez and Sheffield next year. So my ballot is the same as yours but with Buehrle instead of Nathan.

Bailey, you just never miss. I think one thing I’d note though, and it’s obviously pretty subjective and favors some guys a lot more just because of market size(s) of the team(s) they played for, is how much actual name recognition they have and how much of an impact they made on the watchability of the league during their time. Sosa doesn’t have an insaaaane case statistically, with well below average WAR/JAWS/WAR per 162 and a very nice but not mindblowing 128 OPS+ (albeit really nice counting stats, I mean you can’t just ignore the 609 career HRs), buuut he was one of the faces of baseball during the turn of the century years and his home run race with Mark McGuire was just peak television and news. He helped define an era of baseball and I’d think it’s hard to say the name Sammy Sosa to even a casual baseball fan and they not know at all who you’re talking about. He also spent basically his entire career in Chicago, one of the biggest markets. Essentially what I’m saying is there should be a bit of an actual FAME clause to the hall of fame. While we can and should tax known PED users and even tax certain baggage, I think we can also provide a fame credit as well. Some players are spectacular and deserving of the hall based on performance merit alone, but I think it’s fair to separate two players who might both be very comparable statistically if one simply played a much more defining role in the growth and image of baseball

I like these picks and respect the process you used to pick them. Your picks are very similar to what I would do. Personally, I think I would sit on David Ortiz for a year or two just to free up a primarily strategic vote to throw at Abreu or Buehrle or even someone like Kent. I also would strongly consider using a strategic vote or two primarily for players who had really impressive peaks but not the longevity that HOF usually requires. It's really sad to think of guys like Ryan Howard, Jimmy Rollins, Mark Teixeira and Tim Lincecum only staying on the HOF ballot for one year when they were such significant and impressive players, but only for about five years instead of ten years.

I am so tired of trolls saying the Schilling hate is political. He's just a terrible person. So unless you are arguing that conservative=bad person by default, it's kind of irrelevant because none of the "opinions" people get upset about are related to politics in any way

A-rod's involvement in the Biogenesis scandal was way deeper than just roiding up. Also, his sign relay scandal was another stain on the game, and according to some, it's one of the reasons why his stats were so inflated during his time in Texas. No amount of makeup can cover up his image.

Another issue I think voters may have with Sosa is that his name is synonymous with all the major steroid users of the 90's because he was performing at their same level. Anything hitting related coming out of the National League was Bonds, McGuire, and Sosa. It's possible Sosa was just that good, and he's being marred by the era he played in, but I think a lot of voters will just assume he somehow got away with it.

The very slight case one could make that could justify voting for Bonds but not Clemens is that Bonds was peerless while Clemens had peers like Pedro Martinez, Randy Johnson, and Greg Maddux. For instance, there's an MLB video about former MLBers discussing the best hitter they saw, and everyone said Bonds, but in a related video, Clemens wasn't even mentioned.

Your point about the gray area PED guys vs definite broke the rules is interesting. Alex served his suspension (even if it was in my opinion done to make him an example) As for character clause. I've heard ty cobb wasn't the most savory guy. I'm 🇩🇴, and the whole "sammy bleached his skin" thing is mostly humorous. It DOES highlight the complex topic of race over there, but it's not this thing he's shunned for, at least not to me.
