The new Hall of Fame candidates for Baseball have been posted. Among them are Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa, huge names in baseball even to those who hardly follow the sport. These men have incredible histories in baseball, but their use of performance-enhancing drugs could hinder them from getting into the hall of fame. According to the article, this could cause some heated discussions in the baseball world, as the members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America decide whether or not these men will make it to the Hall of Fame.
In my opinion, any player with this tainted history should not make it into the hall of fame. If baseball is trying to rid the sport of performance-enhancing drugs, they cannot reward the use of them. These men still have incredible home-run records, and that can be their claim to fame. As for the Hall, it should steer clear of letting these men in, in order to preserve the sober sport.
