Hall of Shame

Not one Major League Baseball player received enough votes on the 2013 MLB Hall of Fame ballot to be inducted. Steroid linked players Roger Clemens (37.6%), Barry Bonds (36.2%), Mark McGwire (16.9%), Sammy Sosa (12.5%) and Rafael Palmeiro (8.8%) were all well short of the 75% of votes needed to be enshrined. Did MLB voters make the right decision or risk being called the Hall of Shame? I see both sides of the argument and will leave that up to the public. I am still waiting for Pete Rose to be reinstated for eligibility but that doesn't look like it will ever happen.

Pete Rose and The Hall of Fame

The 2010 MLB Hall of Fame class will be announced in two days and every year that passes without Pete Rose being inducted is ridiculous. Sure he bet on games but he bet on his own team to win. Check out this video which highlights Rose and a few other shady characters from baseball past that have been inducted.


They put Pete Rose on the all century team so I think it's time to let the all-time hits king into the MLB Hall of Fame where he belongs.
