they both should be in. It is just way too hard deciding who should/shouldn't be in from that whole era.
They may have taken shortcuts to get there but they are two of the best players in the history of the game. I mean it isn't like its a secret they cheated, just let them in and stop being sanctimonious about it. It's just entertaitment where a guy hits a ball with a stick.
At the end of the day isn't the HOF a baseball museum in Cooperstown? Seems like it is running the risk of irrelevancy if it doesn't even make mention of the contributions so many guys from 1990-2005 had on the game. To just shun an entire era of players because of roids seems stupid.
You don't see the NFL HOF excluding the Steelers accomplishments when half their team was on the sauce in the 70s.

I never said "A" test. I was implying that a teacher was letting students cheat all year long.
If Binds and Clemens were really that good, then why did they need to cheat? There were plenty of players that didn't cheat.
Maybe my standards and morals are different than some others around here but I haven't seen a valid argument yet as to why we should honor and immortalize these people who clearly cheated to get to where they got to.
The options given are pretty stupid. I am not sure why there is no and no on both. I am pretty sure almost everyone who wonted no meant no on both but they didn't see the no on both....they read the question, clicked the thread and clicked no right away. If you ask all the no voters to read again and vote again i am pretty sure that almost all of them will change it to no on both.
Is that your argument?.....really?
If your wife cheats on you and you catch her, would you allow her to use that argument?
" Well, my friend cheated on her husband and he forgave her, so I'm not the only one. As a matter of fact, nevermind just forgiving me for sleeping around for years, I want you to honor me."
What's right and what's wrong with this situation? The point I'm making is the baseball HOF is just a big fucking joke right now. Examples mean nothing right now because there are already many in the HOF that have either used PEDs or have cheated. They have no standards now as to what qualifies and what doesn't to get in. Bud Selig ruined this great game and he will go down as the worst commish in baseball history. Just my 2 cents.
