Re: McGwire admits steroid use
He absolutely knew, IMO. Had to. How could anyone not know? He just decided to look the other way because it was starting to bring baseball back from the dead.
Jayson Stark noted in a recent article that "The Hall of Fame is a museum. It's not the Vatican." Spot on, IMO. The 90's happened, and baseball is going to have to come to grips with that. Frankly, if you discount the numbers somewhat to account for the increased power, I'm not sure Mac or Sosa get in on their stats alone. With that said, however, Mac and Sosa at least deserve a mention, if not admission, in the HOF if only because of their historical significance to the sport, regardless of their numbers.
