Baseball has rules, players violate rules, players should suffer the consequences......
In today's culture where rules have become suggestions and laws are open to consideration, it doesn't surprise me that many want to pretend that these guys didn't do anything wrong. Although I clearly have a problem with it, most baseball fans I know don't believe in rules so I am sure they will get in soon.
A baseball hall of fame that includes blatant cheaters is a joke.
My argument is not that rules don't matter. My issue is how the HOF voters determine who broke the rules and who didn't. They are arbitrarily deciding who was or was not a "rulebreaker" during that particular era of baseball.
And let us not think that those heroes of yesteryear were more pure and noble than those of the steroid era. Hall of Famer Willie McCovey says that was not the case.
