Arod losing to Juan Gonzalez in 1996? Hornsby losing to Dazzy Vance the year he hit .424?

Arod and others losing to Juan Gonzalez in 1998 as well. Juan must have been a great guy and pal to the voters.

In the mid 90s you could have just punched Juan Gonz' ticket to the Hall.

Downhill at age 31, steroid era, and WAR not liking him have really hurt. He was one of the most fun guys in the 90’s. I thought he was a shoe in as a fan at the time. Never punch the ticket until it’s over.

He was pretty vehement in his denials, but even his owner said he suspected him and believed Canseco.

He’s in ‘double trouble’ on it I think. If he is guilty, he’s out because only David Ortiz is exempt from that standard. If he didn’t do it, he isn’t in because he didn’t create as much value as some of the roiders. Fred McGriff, Carlos Delgado not even making it past 1 ballot, there’s a whole group of guys who would be considered or in if they didn’t play at the same time as the roiders, whether or not they are guilty themselves.

It still amazes me how well Jose Canseco’s accusations have aged.

1995. Mo Vaughn winning when he probably should have finished no higher than 4th or 5th. In my opinion Albert Belle should have won the MVP. Belle just wasn't popular with the press.
