I just thought it was assumed Roberts was a first ballot guy. The only question is if he's anonymous.

All joking aside, there was a 5-year stretch where Brian Roberts was pretty good.

No. They tend to keep sexual predators out.

No. They tend to keep sexual predators out. They do? Somewhere, Mickey Mantle and Billy Martin are giggling. |

Not just Mantle and Martin, I would imagine there are quite a few sexual predators in the Hall of Fame. Back in the day, not everything was as exposed as it is now. I'm sure lots of folks looked the other way at stuff like that. I'm pretty sure a guy like Babe Ruth wasn't exactly a "one woman" kind of guy. |

I'm one of those kooks who believes that what you did on the field is the only thing that matters when it comes to the Hall of Fame, in any sport. What you did off the field should have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with whether or not someone should be a Hall of Famer. God can make the final judgment of a person's true character, the Hall of Fame should only have to do with your actual performance during the games. |

Let's not kid ourselves, the Hall of Fame in all sports are littered with guys that cheated in some form or another. And if you're better than all of the other cheaters, you should be in the Hall. Barry Bonds for example. |

So regarding this issue let’s just agree to disagree. Right back at you. I know you'll never see Bonds as a legitimate Hall of Famer and I can't see him as anything else. I'll never change your mind and you won't change mine, but I'll always smome em peace pipe with you. There are true knuckleheads that visit here, but you're not one of them. |

As a Canuck I hope Larry Walker gets in although he deserves it regardless. Playing all those years in Colorado may be keeping him out which is unfair.
