Was just reading that Sammy is retiring after the World Baseball Classic. Does he have a better shot of going to the Hall of Fame than Mark McGwire and Rafael Palmiero?

I am a Cardinals fan, so as much as it pains me to say this, he probably deserves to be in. He has the least evidence against him in the steroid scandal, and 600 HR's. Probably not 1st ballot, but eventually he will get in.

I would love to see him in the HOF and I think his stats warrant it. But I don't see it ever happening. I do think that he has a better shot than McGwire or Palmiero. Both of those guys either admitted to or failed a test to using performance enhancing drugs.

I think that he will get in, because he did hit 600 some homeruns. But I do wish that he would not have been on roids.
If he finished with the same numbers without the corking incident, the 'giving up on the Cubs' incident late in 2004 [?] and the steroid allegations - he'd be a first ballot Hall of Famer.
As is, I think the voters are going to make him wait a while. They aren't going to induct Sosa in before someone like Bonds.

THIS IS ABSOLUTE BS. HE IS JUST AS GUILTY AS MCGWIRE FOR USING JUICE. HE PRETENDED HE DID NOT KNOW ENGLISH AT THE HEARINGS. WHAT OTHER PROOF DO YOU NEED. IF MCGWIRE IS NOT IN, SOSA IS NOT IN. MCGWIRE USED JUICE AND SO DID SAMMY SOSA. IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE SOSA USED THEN YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE STEROID ERA AND YOU HAVE YOUR HEAD UP YOUR ****. IF NO MCGWIRE, THEN NO SOSA. HELL NO. IF YOU PUT ONE IN THEN THE OTHER HAS TO BE IN AS WELL. IF ONE IS NOT IN THEN THE OTHER SHOULD NOT BE IN. AND I DONT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT SAMMY HITTING 600. MCGWIRE RETIRED 17 AWAY FROM 600

Bingo.Took the words right out of my mouth on this one.If one is allowed in with all the scandal...there others should be as well.It will also set a standard to be followed by hall of fame voters as well because they will know to either dismiss a player due to the roids thing or allow them in.

thank you. at least im not the only one who sees the light. if one gets in, they should all be in. the main point that is not discussed is that whether or not they were HOF worthy before the juice, the fact is that they are not to be allowed in because they used juice. Using juice is the factor. You Use, you do not get in, the fact of whether you were a HOF before use is irrelevant.

All I know is I will have a pretty low opinion of mlb as a whole if only one or two of them gets in.If they want to say "This guy undoubtedly used roids so he's a no go"...thats cool with me.But...if they want to let one slip in...they all go no questions asked.If these guys were not suspected of using there would be very little if any discussion at all as to whether or not they were pure locks to get in.In my eyes...roids is the only hurdle and I see them as a team.One gets in they all d
ne doesn't then none of them do.Any other way would be a travesty.Or like cheating the cheaters! :lol:
