Fletcher: Why I don’t care about cheating in Hall of Fame voting

Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Manny Ramirez all cheated.

And I don’t care.

I know I’m supposed to care, but if I’m being totally honest with myself, and not just feeling what I’m supposed to feel, I just don’t.

These guys are just baseball players, and I’m really not looking for them to be anything more.

Sure, the ballot says I should take “character” into account, but the Hall is already dotted with people of questionable character, so the bar is pretty low.

I have voted for the “steroid guys” in part because it didn’t bother me that much, but also because I didn’t feel it bothered the sport that much.
