Isn't Ty Cobb in the HOF?

Yes, he certainly is. And I won't deny that both he and Rose have the stats to justify inclusion. But so does Clemens. So hold whatever opinion you choose on the "morality clause" when it comes to HoF election. All I ask is that one be consistent. Do not lobby to exclude Clemens and push for Rose to be inducted, in nearly the same breath.

It is illogical, Captain.

I never said one word against Clemens being in the HOF, here or elsewhere. I think Rose deserves it more than Clemens, but I never said Clemens should be excluded.

Free Pete!



I may be the only one here that hopes Clemens gets off Scott free, b/c I think it was a joke for congress to investigate baseball. They may be douchebags, but Clemens and Bonds should NEVER have been put in those situations. Its just a game!

And I also think that all the media's issues with steroids in sports is a big hypocrisy.

Clemens put himself in the situation.... He wanted to and ask to be there...

I do not believe it is just a game..... It is a business, BIG BUSINESS....it is the exact reason the owners of two of the 4 major sports, have stopped business and locked the players out.

Billion dollar corporations that use public resources need to have governmental scrutiny, IMO.




If you are going to let Pete in, you have to let Shoeless Joe in.....
