I voted NO for both, even though they WERE 'at the absolute top...' 'well before they likely started juicing.' Making a decision like this is a slippery slop regardless of which way you vote. I have always thought that the actual Hall-of-Famers should have votes. Truly, they would be the best judges on who should be in and who should not be in. Pete Rose WAS a lock...Rafael Palmeiro WAS a sure thing - where do you draw the line? The rules that are in place are for everyone, not just the desperate border-line Major Leaguers searching for some way, any way, to stick around. My opinion has not changed over the last 18 years...since the 'Home Run Race' and I admit I got into that! I bet a lot of folks willing to vote for Clemens and Bonds are not willing to admit their own hypocrisy during that same time period. Again, a very slippery slop. I believe that Joe Jackson was guilty, though he may not have been sure of what had been asked of him. Still guilty...we're all grown-ups here. I never really though Piazza or Bagwell were juicing - they did not have sudden spikes in their numbers, but rather, were very steady throughout their careers until age or injury lowered their production. I think the same about Jim Thome and, especially Jr. Griffey. IMHO Their 600+ Home Runs are 100% legit. As was Greg Maddux's 355 Wins and Nolan Ryan's 5,714 Strikeouts. Being in the Hall of Fame is an honor not a right. It's bad enough, we can't look at the All-Time Lists the same anymore...those responsible should not be rewarded for that. McGwire lied to Mrs. Maris's face and a great man like Hank Aaron deserves better than to be thought of as second to a spoiled and arrogant jerk who stood on the shoulders of greater men who are not mentioned nearly as often as he.
