[QUOTE="Rochambeau, post: 2543245, member: 570071"] I really don't think Barroids will get in for the same reasons Mac won't. Can any of the Mac supporters give a plausible explanation for him taking the 5th? Say what you want about Canseco (personally, I can't stand the guy) but he hit the mark with his book and helped clean up the sport somewhat. Of course, that wasn't his intention in the slightest but merely a fortunate consequence. Hell, back when Mac was with the A's, my sister (an MD and a baseball fan) stated her belief that Mac and Canseco were juicing. I liked Mac for doing what he did with the home run chase and all and I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt until he took the 5th. That sealed my opinion on the man. I think if a BB writer believes he cheated, it is that writer's obligation to NOT vote for him. Otherwise it sends a very Clintonesque message... Lie & cheat, noone will care if you can get away with it and cover it up.... or if you can hit 70 home runs. **** the Giants for re-signing Bonds, I was hoping baseball would blackball his ***.
