Should steroid-era MLB stars still get into the Hall of Fame?

1) It was not illegal at the time. Over the counter for many items

2) Steroids help with conditioning because you don't get as tired as fast

3) It only helped player with bat speed not hit ball better or further.

4) Does not make hand /eye coordination better, you must have that already.

All steroids allowed player to do is play second half of season like first half of season. So if you hit 35 HR's before All Star Break , you could hit 35 more after All Star Break.

A corked bat could give you the same results as using Steroids.

Many players the used Steroids never hit 30 HR's which proves it doesn't make people HR Hitters.

So, I think Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds , ETC should be in Hall of Fame. Barry Bonds at most only used them 2 seasons.

You have Hall of Famers that hit their wives, shot people, used drugs , cheated on taxes, Had Affairs, doctored baseballs, and used illegal gloves in field.

Yes allowd players in Hall of Fame that used Steroids

No, lets keep them out and keep the ones in that broke laws and hurt people.

I’m with you that the Hall should be honest about history, not pretend the steroid era didn’t happen ⚾

PEDs didn’t give players talent, but they massively boosted recovery, strength and durability, which directly affects power, bat speed and longevity. That’s a competitive edge, even if others also used.

I’d put Bonds, McGwire, Sosa in, but with clear context on plaques or a dedicated “steroid era” explanation area. Honor the performance, document the controversy.

What athletes didn't use steroids? And a lot paid for it down the line with health problems and even deaths. I guess they didn't fear the Reaper.

why don't they just start... the Hall of Steroids Fame...

It is not a big deal. How has players taking steroids changed your life? It is their choice. if they die at age 60 , that was their choice. When did it get where people tell other people what they can and can't do. ? Like wrestlers , it is their choice , not many live past 50 .

I still want America to be a free country.

[NathanDavis]

a country free to cheat?

would you spent an extra 8 dollars for gas

and for that gasoline or diesel to be of cheaper quality than a Nickelback concert?

[888theGreat]

I like Nickelback

[NathanDavis]

I just spit my drink...

Considering Maradona did for soccer, I will say YES, especially if it wasn't illegal
