Who's a Hall of Famer?

Although Kent did take Sandberg's HR title, even if it was legit the guy was an absolute butcher at the what is arguably the 3rd least essential position on the diamond.  So if he did hit his homeruns "naturally (whatever that might mean) he still fucking sucks.  The Fred McGriff of second basemen.

I tried to follow this train of thought and now I'm stranded in a potato field on the outskirts of Glengormley.

Jeff Kent's a cockbag who could barely field second base.

I thought players didn't choose any more, after the Dave Winfield debacle.

Surprisingly, the article linked above contains information relevant to this very issue.

The Hall of Fame and Museum "works with each inductee by suggesting an appropriate logo option, or no logo at all," said Hall president Jeff Idelson in a statement.

Hall spokesman Brad Horn said the Hall makes the decisions "in conjunction" with the inductee, meaning they suggested no logo and Maddux agreed.

I thought it was the Wade Boggs debacle.

You're right. Winfield got away with it, although Steinbrenner cancelled his number retirement ceremony.

The latest HOF ballot list is out.

Bagwell, Piazza and Griffey Jr. will be your class of '16.  No need to discuss.

Bagwell and Piazza were never formally outed for using PEDs, but come the fuck on. Griffey, had exploding hammies and the whole lot but word is he was too lazy to work out and probably wouldn't have benefitted much if he did take anything illegal.

I'm for all three getting in but that's the discussion for all 90/00s sluggers.

I think at this point, MLB and BBHOF should just acknowledge the Steroid Era was a thing, and the BBWAA should honor guys accordingly. Whatever vigilance the writers feel they have over the integrity of the game didn't stop them from putting Whitey Ford, Don Sutton or Gaylord Perry in.

I'd like to know what kind of numbers the fuckers saying Ken Griffey Jr. was "lazy" put up. If that's what that guy can do while being lazy why would you ever fucking work out?

So your hamstrings don't assplode?

Only the BBWA can make PED users sympathetic characters.  Fuck the BBWA.  Not putting in Bonds and Clemens is just dumb.
