All these players are taking the fall when MLB practically endorsed them to take steroids, and now MLB wants to leave them out of the HOF? MLB should be taking the fall, not the players.

I'd put all of the 'roid players in the hall if I had a vote - if they otherwise were qualified. Neither would I put any asterisks beside their names in the record books.

Let's face it, if it had leaked out during the summer of '98 that McGuire and Sosa wre on Steroids, MLB would have been ACTIVELY working to deny everything. They couldn't possibly have cared less, and were likely encouraging the practice.

We KNOW that they were turning a blind eye at the very least.
