He belongs in the HOF, you don’t get in on your mouth. You get in on stats, as far as the peds. Most players where on them, and you mean to tell me pitchers did not cheat? It was a level playing field for all. Amphetamines ran ramped from the 40′s on and that is illegal and it’s in every club house. They are called greenies!!!! Trust me I know I played ball. It’s BS he belongs!!!!!!!!!!!

kkolchak, so what you’re saying is….we’re lucky he only wagged his finger at Congress?

So we should keep Bonds out because some BBWAA voters can’t think clearly about Sosa, McGwire, and Palmeiro?

Nonsense. The Bonds decision should be based solely on his accomplishments, not on voters’ deficiencies concerning other players.

The funniest part of this is, if Palmeiro would have never been caught doing PEDs, he would have made the HOF… and would he would have been vocally against guys like Bonds and Clemens getting in because they cheated. This is how this POS’s mind works.

“Rafael Palmeiro gives an awful lot of interviews about the Hall of Fame.”

What the hell else are the going to interview him about? How he keeps his mustache so Tom Selleck fresh?

To be fair, when it comes to giving a lot of interviews on a particular subject, isn’t it the fault of reporters who keep asking the questions?

If he was holding press conferences on the subject, sure. But since he is in essentially the same boat as Bonds and Clemens, and was a lot more media-friendly through his career than those and others bailing out that particular dinghy, he gets the calls that writers don’t want to pass through Sosa’s “interpreter”.

Just saying, Palmeiro had his ready made excuse too, “Miguel Tejada gave me a B12 shot, the bastard!”

Name one player whose entire drug testing procedure was not found to have violated rules agreed upon between the league and the union who I have defended.

By: delawarephilliesfan

Let me get this straight – Craig is claiming that a player who failed a drug test actually used PED’s?

How do you know?

By: kkolchak

kkolchak — Fri, 10 Aug 2012 20:03:42 +0000

That’s the problem with the pro-letting Bonds into the HoF argument. Once you go down that road, then you have to consider Sosa, McGwire and Palmeiro, all of whom have the raw numbers but probably wouldn’t have gotten them without the ‘roids.

Let them all in and your have a clown Hall of Fame, bro.

lol Give it up, Raffy. You aren’t getting into the Hall. This whole “These guys cheated and they should get in so I can use that as a way to get in too” schtick is completely obvious.

Give Raffi a break, he was a hell of a ballplayer, roids or no roids.

This is totally and entirely unrelated, but Craig, I’d like to congratulate you on your second job in the marketing department at Woot! It’s good to see the skills you’ve developed here are being put to use in other areas as well.

Getting an endorsement from Rafael Palmeiro is like seeking marriage advice from Larry King.
