Presently, and based only on reports from writers who have made their ballots public, Yankees standout Roger Clemens is among those who are making significant gains towards reaching the 75% minimum required for election to the Baseball Hall Of Fame. Reluctantly, but practically, it’s time to open the doors and let them in.
Yankees fans and all fans of baseball should never (I believe) forgive and forget those who made a conscious decision to enhance their career by using substances, whether legal or not, that are designed to manufacture performance that is not generated by natural talent.
And we could sit here all day and argue about who did and who didn’t, and when they started using, when they stopped, what they used, and attempt to gauge how much those substances enhanced their performance on the field – forever and we’d still be spinning our wheels.
