Lots of cheaters in the hall of fame. Spitball throwers, sign stealers...how about Ty Cobb's sharpened spikes? willing to cheat =/= steroid user This is a great point. IF Sammy used (and that's a big "if), it was not illegal or outlawed by MLB the years he was most likely juicing. That does not condone it, but if he did it, it was technically "within the rules." Compare this to someone like Gaylord Perry, who admitted to throwing an illegal pitch for most of his career, was caught on at least one occasion with a foriegn substance/object, and yet he seems to be revered. Would you be in favor of expelling him from the Hall of Fame seeing as it's a fact that he cheated, rather than keeping someone out based on speculation and public opinion? It makes no sense. They'll just keep him out, even though he's not in the Mitchell report and he hasn't been linked to the degree of the others. Sammy's probably not going -- though I still think he should. Then again, I would probably still vote for Barry & Roger, much as I don't like them. And I get the feeling many voters will not.
