It's hard to take an institution seriously that excludes a 7 time MVP winner and 7 time Cy Young winner.

I think it would be harder to take them seriously if they put them in.

Especially with Selig, Pudge, Bagwell, and Piazza in. Oh and look at Ricky Herderson�s power in the early �90s while with the bash brothers. The selective outrage is nauseating. Let them in

Not to mention, again lol, all the greenie poppers we worship. Oh BTW Randy Johnson's best years were in his mid and late 30s. Just saying.

I feel that some teams had a PED culture. I think the mariners were one of those teams as well as the Oakland A�s. As players moved they took the culture with them.

I don't feel strongly about Edgar either way, but I wouldn't have put Hoffman in. I don't have any objection in principle to voting in a closer or a DH, but Mariano's the only 1-innning guy I've seen who warrants a spot in the Hall. I've seen at least a couple of DHs who were good enough, but on Edgar I'm undecided.
