These voters need to take into consideration that had these “tarnished” players not saved the game after the ‘94 strike, they’d all be out of jobs. Throwing pro ball players under the bus to save face is bullshit. As Gibson mentioned, players have cheated for as long as baseball’s been played. It’s ultimately a grey area between “illegal” and “advancement”. I suppose any athlete drinking protein shakes or sleeping in an oxygen capsule should be barred as well.

Should be less of a vote and consider lowering the voting percentage. Baseball has changed so much since the conception of the hof ballot system.

As a Braves fan I really don’t like Barry bonds, the guy took away Hank Aaron’s record by juicing, I don’t care who you are that’s essentially playing the show against CPU on rookie and saying you’re the best player in the game. He shouldn’t be a hall of famer, was he a good player, yes, could he have actually earned his status as a hall of famer, also yes. But since he never showed us his career without steroids we will never know if he was actually better than Hank. And for that, in my mind he will never be a hall of famer.

[@hybridshadow_]

AGREED!!!!

[@darrelleaster5381]

I’m also a Braves fan, but my stance is different Be free to disagree however you please, this is is just my opinion. Hank Aaron will forever be my role model, for what he did both on and off the field. He is my favorite player of all time. As a young black he is my inspiration of who I want to be. However, I do believe Barry Bonds should get into the hall of fame because he already had a hall of fame resume before he started juicing (which most sources agree was in 1998). At that point, he already had a 400-400 career, something no other player has done before or since. That, and the fact he already had 3 MVP awards meant that even if he never played another game, he would have probably made it in. However, he is NOT home run king, as 1. He only had 7 more home runs than Hank, so make that 71 home run season a 63 homerun season (which is still outrageously high) and he has no crown 2. Hank Aaron was a more dignified and overall better man than him by a extreme marging Once again, this is just my opinion.

I look at Kent, Rolen, and Vizquel as a similar group since they were all great infielders. Each of them are HOF in 2 of 3 main categories. But each of them are weak in one area which is either defense, longevity, or offense. I'm sick of people only making excuses to dismiss a guy who didn't have the big personality and persona. Rather than picking at the 1 thing they weren't the best at let's focus on the other 2 parts that makes them HOF. Plus, if you look at the percentage of players who played getting into the HOF it is lower today than it was in the past. Some people think of the HOF like the All Century Team but it is not that at all. There are a number of players in the HOF which were great but had one area that was just okay but the greatness as a whole is not overshadow by it but instead they shine like baseball stars. I would like to see them go in as a group of infielders since as a group I think they're elite and worthy of the HOF.

Third, on the outside chance that Bonds is voted in, I don't think he would even show up at the ceremony. If he did, they better have more than 15 seconds on their dump button. Fourth, do the writers not understand, that as an entity, they should want as many people as possible to go see their shrine to greatness? How can they do that if they are purposely keeping out 2 of the 5 greatest players to ever lace up a pair of cleats. They are imbeciles.

[@DakodaOK]

The pass you might give Lynn Henning is that opting not to vote for Ortiz this year is probably under the assumption that he gets more votes in future years (and knowing he's going to make the threshold to stay on). I can agree in many ways with not voting in Bonds/Clemens/Rodriguez/Schilling despite knowing--yes, knowing--they are some of the best players of all time.

Assuming he started juicing after that 1998 HR chase season of Sosa and McGwire. Guy was on a superstar trajectory. Just like Griffey Jr. Both could play, had all the talent in the world and been around baseball all their lives with their dads being ball players. Granted as far as personality and character, Griffey takes it to another level. But in all seriousness Bonds w/o steroid was elite.

if anyone has not seen foolish baileys video on hall of fame voting you NEED to see that, very educational and enlightening

[@2themoon863]

You said the first voter did not vote for Todd Helton but the graphic shows the bix next to Helton’s bam has an “X” in it…!

[@swilliams21231]

Ortiz is more like A-Rod and Manny. Ortiz failed tests same as those two, Sosa didn't fail any tests. But we already know that the HoF voting is completely subjective. The writers essentially just vote for the guys that they like. Look what happened to Jim Edmonds when he had his turn on the ballot.

[@Aim_Prodigy]

arod and barry bonds do not deserve to be the hall of fame

[@guywhoneversleeps]

i do understand the difference between barry bonds and roger clemens. barry bonds didnt really start using until after his pirates days, which he was already HOF caliber. Roger Clemens without steroids was NO WHERE NEAR the HOF caliber.

[@markzuckergecko621]

That's kinda ridiculous, their early careers had a similar trajectory, Clemens was a phenom from day one too, just like Bonds. If you're trying to suggest Bonds didn't use until later in his career, I don't know why Clemens is any different, the dynamic of pitching is just different. For pitchers it's more about faster recovery and durability.

[@narutouzu9197]

Numbers and stats should be Hall of Fame criteria. I don’t care what people do off the field. If they put up the numbers and are great they should be Hall of Fame.

[@cubsboi1495]

My ballot Barry Bonds David Ortiz Todd Helton Billy Wagner Roger Clemens Andruw Jones

[@pawpawjoe5144]

Bonds, Clemons,Ortiz should go in together. Yes, they juiced but so did EVERYONE else in that era. They were the best. Steroids does not affect the brain and these guys were highly intelligent and used their abilities to the max.

[@Iukaz]

Exactly. Theres plenty of existing HOFers who admitted to cheating too anyway

[@willsellsyorklanc1254]

If folks are going to push the narrative that steroids are bad and players who used them shouldn't make it in, players who had great production like Rollins and Howard should have higher credibility in terms of HOF voting since they were as clean as clean could be and hit better than those players some years

[@majones316]

Andy Pettitte deserves more respect. 3x All-Star, most Postseason wins in MLB history and a major part of the last 5 Yankee championships.

[@unkledoda420]

Regular season numbers are far more important than post season when considering HOF. Petites regular season numbers don't really put him as one of the best pitchers of his era. Only making 3 all star teams kinda shows that.

[@nomercyinc6783]

bonds doesnt deserve it cheating. jut like pete rose. cheaters dont deserve nice things

[@PaisaSteve]

The Phillies beat writer is plain disgusting. Also is the guy that voted for nobody. Your take is right. If Bud Selig is represented in the HOF and Bonds/Clemens aren't it's all a sham.

[@SplatterJacked]

All I know is that there a list of Astros past/current players that better not ever get a chance to even see their name on a ballot.

[@tpsin713]

Big Bob Gibson with the honest interview!!!

[@philippliskin9196]

Billy Pierce and his 3.27 lifetime ERA over 21 seasons gets just 4 votes. OK he wasn’t Whitey, Feller or Spahn but you would think 4th best should count for something.

[@ellandecampbell6279]

Gaylord Perry (a notorious spitballer), Bud Selig (the commissioner who turned a blind eye to steroids), & greenie/amphetamine users (Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron, etc.) are in the Hall of Fame, but PED users shouldn't be? Make this make sense

[@andrewbecker2808]

So 3000 hits and 500 hrs isn’t the platform used for establishing Hall of Famers? What is? Scott Rollin had a nice career but he is not a Hof.

[@danday9697]

I think you have you have to decide and either do all or none. I have no problem if someone does or doesn't want them in as long as it's consistent. If you want to put one in, fine, but that means you have to be cool with all linked, like mcgwire, palmero, bonds, Clemons and any others. If you don't want them to be in. Fine but you can't pick or choose

[@markzuckergecko621]

Yea I know what you mean, and honestly the only consistent way to do it is to let them all in, because there are definitely several players that are already in the hall that just never got caught.

[@manuelreza2233]

Dude Arod is on another category than Ortiz and Ramirez

[@dominicwanzer2057]

David Ortiz shouldn't be in the HoF. Neither should Edgar Martinez honestly. A career DH didn't have to work as hard as the other guys if they never played the field.

[@admiralmaverixk7404]

Rollins COULD be in, but Howard I don’t see. Voting Rollins isn’t the worst imo but tbf I am semi biased, but yeah the first guys ballot was pretty bad
