Who's a Hall of Famer?

[Canadouche]

From Vet Rage to Thong Fancy in one day?

[J. Walter Weatherman]

Goddamn it - someone find more photos from that thong convention.

Here you go, sir.

[ChuckD]

Someone voted for Jesse Orosco?

[Tonker]

So, Ronny finally got in and it sounds as though everybody tried not to be bitter and twisted about it.

I was interested to note that MLB also reports that Santo had had multiple leg amputations, although they didn't specify exactly how many.

Bump. This is pretty awesome.

This comment is great.

"Vote in anyone with even a whiff of PED, and Frank Thomas. I want to watch the uncomfortable acceptance speech lineup of Bonds, Clemens, Palmeiro, and then Thomas. "

Because nobody who played football at Auburn ever used PEDs. Nope. Nosiree.

Frank Thomas has always been preternaturally large and he had long complained in MLBPA meetings and in the press, I believe, about steroid use in baseball.

While doubt is fine for pretty much anyone who played during the era, I think there's enough convincing evidence against the thought that Frank Thomas dabbled with dope.

You do know that size is not the only thing PED users are looking to achieve, right? Where's your convincing evidence beyond his vehement denials? I mean, you can believe him if you want to. I don't really have any reason not to myself, other than I don't like him and think he's a dick. I admit that's not a good reason.

A presumption of innocence and a lack of evidence showing guilt? That's just me, though.

I don't think they should keep people out of the Hall for using it anyway. That's like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500. I actually kind of believe Thomas because he seemed to suffer from some nagging, minor injuries late in his career. I bet if he really wanted to, he could have gotten himself on the field for the 2005 postseason. If he knew the risks and side effects and decided to sit out instead, then good for him. I don't think it makes him some sort of hero though.

That only works in a court of law. This is a court of opinion. He looked like Gary Coleman before he started juicing.

Serious question, but why do you think he's a dick? I have to admit I always kind of liked the guy even though he played for the White Sox. He seems like a nice guy.

It's almost like he became a professional 1B/DH and was paid millions of dollars to lift weights and get bigger so he could hit baseballs harder.

He had the reputation of being surly and unapproachable. Perhaps that's only with the media. When they say that about players on my favorite teams I tend to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. I'm willing to allow that because he didn't play for the Cubs, I spent little to no effort in finding anything to like about the guy. I really don't care much. He's a Hall of Famer without question. If he'd been juicing, his prime might have lasted longer, as was the case with the guys everybody wants to keep out of the Hall.

What?  Are you saying he started juicing when he was like 10 years old?
