I'm not sure if players can be removed from the Hall but I'm pretty sure they can't be.Royal Rootershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05741709867002149304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276907225428640229.post-29393455043310492332007-12-22T12:22:00.000-05:002007-12-22T12:22:00.000-05:00O.J. is in the Football HOF.O.J. is in the Football HOF.Donald Caponehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16903164976265954815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-276907225428640229.post-4802022126850572002007-12-20T21:02:00.000-05:002007-12-20T21:02:00.000-05:00It really is a question.

There is simply no way to differentiate the clean players from the dirty. The Mitchell report named 80 or so players with just 2 sources from 2 teams. If we conservatively extrapalate to the 30 teams from that, we're talking about say 700-1000 players in the league that used.<BR/><BR/>What bothers me most is the differentiation some writers said they'll make. Bonds was a HOF player before using roids, so he'll get in, but the steroids made McGwire a HOFer, so we won't vote him in. That's very dangerous since there's no real way to judge.<BR/><BR/>A steroid ban doesn't result in a lifetime ban, so if that's the case, I think users need to be allowed and voted in the same as any other player.
