HOF Election - and the Elephant in the Room:

[Fred]

Interesting concept of posthumous election. Do they let them all die off and then start electing them? Or do they wait until they die off individually and then elect them? Would be interesting to see how electors classify Palmeiro after his indignant finger point at congress and denial (and then getting popped shortly thereafter). That was just over the top.

One PED user that's a little different from the rest is McGwire. At least he showed a little class and admitted it and owned what he did.

As I recall it, he was not there to talk about the past and refused to speak about anything in order to avoid either taking responsibility or getting indicted for perjury.

Later on he admitted using PEDs. I think it was so he could get hired as a hitting coach.

I cringe hard when Mark talks about PEDs. His more recent stuff is way worse than his silly congress BS.

Don't get me wrong if I am paying $12 for a cold hotdog and $18 for a warm beer and $100 for a not horrible seat someone better jack a 500 foot homerun for my viewing pleasure. PEDS should be mandatory for the greater good of the game.
