Baseball and the steriod boys

Gerry leave a comment to ASM826's post about Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson becoming eligible for the Hall Of Fame:

So when will the Steroid boyz be allowed in?

Good question.  It brought to mind A-Rod, and a comment from Chris Lynch back in the day:

Every time A-Rod comes up to bat in Fenway, they should play Huey Lewis and the News "I want a new drug" ...

Well, okay then.  I dunno when he's be eligible, but if they induct him, this should be their bumper music.

I think they'll all be let in eventually.

Meh....for every athlete caught "juicing" there are countless others who did but weren't caught.

Normally skin color is the primary factor in determining acceptability.
THAT is why it is so unusual that these two have been "pardoned".

I stopped caring when the crime stories were longer than the box scores.
They don't play with more heart, probably less since they want their high priced careers to last longer.
