Ty Cobb

I wonder if the baseball hall of fame plans to create a wing or section dedicated to the steroid era? Probably could since it will likely affect the hall of h fame ballot voted of players over a 25 year or so span.

If a guy was never caught cheating and never admitted to cheating and he has tha numbers, should he be denied just hecause of unproven rumors and circumstantial evidence that he beat the system?....and that question doesn't even apply to Bonds, clemens and sosa

I have been around my fair share (and many others fair share) of athletes in my life, and seriously...NO ONE topped Barry on the conceited jackass meter.

Shane Monaghan came in a very close second.

when did the part about integrity and sportsmanship get put into the voting process because it hasn't always been part of the voting process.

they have to acknowledge the steroid era or they will make the HOF irrelevant. You can't just not have a 20 year timer period represented at all.

Many of these players in the steriod era weren't even on steriods they were on HGH and Andro(sp) which were legal substances. Babe Ruth shouldn't be in the HOF because he never played against black players.

babe ruth played against who he was allowed to. He deserves to be there. Cap Ansen now he should n't be in the HOF because he is the one behind the segregation of baseball, if you believe in the character of the individual being part of the requirements

Character should not matter I care about the stats and championships that is all. I used Babe Ruth as an example to show that baseball has no problem picking and choosing which era they want to honor.
