Here's an article but no one got stronger and bulked up like the present day guys. Kinda like a strong coffee or energy drink!
 
The National Baseball Hall of Fame

The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is an independent, non-profit educational institution dedicated to fostering an appreciation of the historical development of baseball and its impact on our culture by collecting, preserving, exhibiting and interpreting its collections for a global audience as well as honoring those who have made outstanding contributions to our national pastime.

The Hall of Fame’s mission is to preserve the sport’s history, honor excellence within the game and make a connection between the generations of people who enjoy baseball. Likewise the institution functions as three entities under one roof with a museum, the actual Hall of Fame and a research library. With these parts working together the Museum is committed to fulfilling its mission by:

Collecting, through donation, baseball artifacts, works of art, literature, photographs, memorabilia and related materials which focus on the history of the game over time, its players and those elected to the Hall of Fame.
Preserving the collections by adhering to professional museum standards with respect to conservation and maintaining a permanent record of holdings through documentation, study, research, cataloging and publication.
Exhibiting material in permanent gallery space, organizing on-site changing exhibitions on various themes, with works from the Hall of Fame collections or other sources, working with other individuals or organizations to exhibit loaned material of significance to baseball and providing related research facilities.
Interpreting artifacts through its exhibition and education programs to enhance awareness, understanding and appreciation of the game for a diverse audience.
Honoring, by enshrinement, those individuals who had exceptional careers, and recognizing others for their significant achievements.




Basically, if guys like shoeless joe, Pete Rose, big mac, Bonds, clemens...

made an impact and were part of the history of baseball, it should be preserved...


history shouldn't only reflect the positive. Having Bonds in the hall of fame, doesn't mean that it is a statement that he is better than Ruth, or Aaron or anything. it just means he made a big mark on the sport.

no it was alot more than strong coffee (which they have banned using excessive cafiene too) but illegal amphetamines. and heck even 200 mg of caffiene can increase your short term strength by 10%

the point is, that we can't just pick and choose which guys that used enhancers of any sort are blackballed from the Hall.

yes. the only way to truly level the playing field is to legalize everything across the board.
 
I guess I see you guys point here too! Argument both ways.

I sure hope MonkeyFocker and RhodeScholar see how we went about this discussion heatedly with differing opinions!

Chat never seems to be used, so if anyone needs a gentle jerk here or there after this debate to feel better, just let me know. Just like GL security, I'm a very low member of the Circle Jerk club.

The real scary thing here is that Barry Larkin finished 3rd.

HOF needs to get at least one Niggy name Barry....


truth be told, I can see how Barry Larkin will be on the cusp of making it over the next 5 years.

the Hall is pretty short on offensive shortstops. and will be for another 5-10 years, when all the post modern power hitting shortstops, and Jeter are eligible
