When it comes to Baseball Hall of Fame voting, there’s not much that can be agreed upon, even among those tasked with voting on new candidates.
Some think no players connected to performance-enhancing drugs should be elected. Others think that baseball willingly looked the other way on the Steroid Era, and can’t imagine a Hall of Fame without Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Alex Rodriguez, among others. And there’s even a crowd that draws a line in the middle, saying that Bonds and Clemens should be elected to the Hall of Fame despite very credible connections to performance-enhancing drugs, but Rodriguez and Manny Ramirez shouldn’t because they were suspended by the league for using banned substances.
