No, this is absurdity.

The ONLY link to Jeff Bagwell and steroids are that he played in an age when other people were using steroids.

If there is legitimate concern..hell, even one shred of well-founded suspicion, then they should not be in.

But the fact that I say Jeff Bagwell should get in and you immediately talk about Roiders IS THE PROBLEM. Jeff Bagwell should NOT be associated with steroids in any fucking way. Whatever one thinks of Roids and HOF is irrelevant, whether you think they should all get in or none of them or only some of them. I don't care about that, because Jeff Bagwell was not a roider but was one of the best 1B's in MLB history.


Played with Caminiti, Steve Finley, Andy Petite, Roger Clemens. Went from hitting a hr every 155 at bats in the minors to every 37 at bats in the majors. Sure seems fishy

Imo, let in the roiders. It's not farfetched to believe that Griffey and Bagwell did steroids. We want to believe they didn't, and there are no true links, but there weren't links to Ryan Braun or A Rod for a while too.

I'm irl friends with an ex-MLB pitcher who played from about 1995-2005 or so, right through the era. He swears he never took them and that with pitchers maybe 30% did it, but that hitters it was close to 70% and that most power hitters all did. The speed demon contact guys didn't think it was worth the risk to inject dem legs compared to power hitters.

His opinion and the opinion of his peers is to just let them all in. Whoever was the best in that era, let them in, they were playing against other roiders too, and they were the best of that class.

Bagwell possibly, but Griffey?

Definitely not.

Might as well say Jeter took steroids too.

I agree Jeter was clean but I'm not sure about Griffey. Both hunches tho which is kind of the whole argument. We just don't know.

I'm almost more interested to see the vote %s of Clemens and Bonds etc than who actually got in.
