Baseball Hall of Fame
With a previous post by Free Advice's Ken back in January and with the recent news of Robbie Alomar's retirement and a story yesterday of a straw poll vote for Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds, do any of these players make the hall. Based on the numbers, I think that they are all first ballot hall-of-famers. But Robbie has the "spitting" incident, and McGwire and Bonds are linked to steroids. What is the opinion of our Free Advice community?
I think Alomar is in for sure. He spit on Hirschbeck, but paid his penance and I don't think that will hurt him.
ReplyDeleteMcgwire and Bonds are in for sure and likely on the first ballot if nothing worse comes out than what's already been disclosed. MLB is doing everything it can to sweep this under the rug. Of course, if either of them gets hit with a "smoking gun", that will jeopardize their induction.
