James GalloBarry Bonds: has been getting a bum rap' since all the allegations about steroids.
- should his Home Run record count?
Hell No
- Lying about Drugs (steroids) Faces Charges? (out to get him!)
No I think it will be proven he has lied.
- Should Bonds be in the Hall of Fame?
No
- Big problem with the media (before and after drug allegations)
Didn't help and i think it made things a lot worse. Public opinion counts for a lot and outside SF there are not a lot of people that like Bonds.
- public hatred!!! Poster child' for baseballs drug use.
See above.
Roger Clemens: I'd like to here your thoughts
- should his Pitching record count?
If he is proven guilty in a court room no they shouldn't just like Bonds.
- Should Clemens be in the Hall of Fame? (Let's face it his Not Honest!)
No and see above.
- Huge problem with the media!
He has been liked by the Media and this will help him some, but public opinion has already changed a great deal.
- American Hero!
Never really thought of him like that as i have felt he juiced for some time now.
If Bonds & Clemens make it into the HOF (I believe they will), do you think Pete Rose would have a good chance of being inducted?
No totally different things, however if the flood gates opened and Bonds and Clemens get in, then what about Sosa and big Mack.... Should they all be allowed in?
I think in the context of the period the Black Sox players have a better shot the Rose.
Rose is screwed, because he did a HUGE baseball no-no when it wasn't known to be bad. However I think rose should be in for his actions as a player.
Basically it will have to come down to three things.
Let them all in.
Keep them all out.
Let them in but put a note on the records.
