You make some really great points
@steveoo1970, and I agree with you, baseball turned a blind eye to all of it because it helped them rebound and profit greatly. But it also helped the players doing the PED's profit greatly as well. That was what they were all after, the MONEY. The more home runs they hit, the more money they would get paid.
I can't give a pass to these guys simply because baseball turned a blind eye to them. Morally, they had a choice of their own. Cheat or don't cheat. I can't put guys like Bonds, Palmero, Big Mac, Clemes, Sosa, Arod etc. in to stand next to legends like Aaron, Mays, Joe D, Mantle, Seaver, Brett, Schmidt etc. the list goes on. You see my point? Those players earned it with hard work, without PED's, (Maybe some "greenies"). To give those who cheated a pass and let them in would be a disgrace.
Big Papi, and all the other ones who were PED abusers are pieces of shit who are set for life financially. They should live with the fact that they are not hall of famers, but rather cheaters who got lucky and never have to worry about anything in life except where they plan their next vacation destination, or where to dock their yachts. Enshrining them just empowers a younger generation to do the same.
