The Hall of Fame Case for Sammy Sosa

[DewsSox79]

Not saying he didn't, wsm said he uses the Mitchell Report as the end all, he wasn't on it.

You can't block an entire generation of players out because there were steroids around. You also can't pick and choose which ones you think were on them. But for you, your "He's on the Cubs, must be worse than everyone else" thing works well, doesn't it?

:rofl:

Again for the last time since you are dense as ****.

A player like Bonds makes the HOF even if he doesnt juice.

Sosa NEVER goes to the HOF if he didnt juice.

There are a lot of players that would have been just ehhh players if they didnt juice.

And that can be judged by one's own opinion, you can't say you know how players would have developed without. You can't assume things based on your opinion when picking who gets into the Hall of Fame. And then there is a lot of guess-work involved for all the players. And if it isn't OK for one player, it isn't OK for anyone, regardless of whether you think they'd have made it or not.

If the pl;ayers union didn't agree to the ban until the mid to late 2000's it wouldn't be illegal for players right?

Steroids were banned in 1990, they were not tested for til 2004

It's pretty funny that Sosa's weight on Baseball-Reference.com is listed as 165 pounds.... :lol:

I'm fairly certain he hasn't weighed 165 since his days with the White Sox.

Players listed weight rarely change

Wow, more than a 165 less than TBO!

Did the union agree with that in collective bargaining?
