Ortiz juiced too but because he smiles and befriends the writers so it's all good? What a joke.
And he played in Boston.
A sports journalist wet dream.

At this point, i wouldnt even care anymore if he eventually gets in. You spent your money to watch him. your eyes were glued to the tv set when he was playing. you knew you were watching the best player by far. dude won three mvps by 1993 and should've been four but they gave it to some scrub.

You guy realize basically around 70% of writers are voting for Bonds right? 
That’s the large majority. There is no room they’re sitting in for one group vote and slamming him out. Bonds and Clemens just couldnt get to that 75% mark of agreement, and that’s not really surprising when they did what they did and a minority of voters still apparently have a problem with that.

Lets not get it twisted , Papi's a HOFer.
So are Bonds, Clemens, A-Rod, Schilling (as much of a POS as he is) etc
We've known the writers aren't **** for years though so not surprised the silent minority did what they do
Just hope that one of these years the HOF structure either changes or all these self-righteous scumbags start being replaced by younger writers with a more modern approach and perspective to the game and what the Hall means and should be in this day and age.

I like how you move. LA Messican who decided to go against the grain and root for the Clippers, Angels, etc as opposed to the Lakers and Dodgers.
Hey at least you have Ohtani and Trout tho

If they ever go the asterisk route than at least half of those old-time plaques are gonna need them too for playing pre-integrationYeah. What a joke. Keep these juiceheads out of the HOF or put them in with an asterisk on their name plate
Some of those stats and records would be looking different having to face prime Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson

Steroid use won't get you into the Baseball Hall Of Fame, but it will get you into the WWE Hall Of Fame, i.e. Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, and many others who abused it.
I guess juicing as a pro wrestler pays off better than doing it as a baseball player since there are no legitimate records and stats involved.

What a joke
But it goes to show you how you treat people in life.
I always said Barry Bonds could’ve been akin to Michael Jordan playing in big market San Francisco. But he did it his way and I can admire that also.
Congrats to David Ortiz. ARod def may never get it despite cleaning up his act.

I can understand why they didn't want to vote Barry Bonds & Roger Clemens in because of the issue of precedence.
Because if they voted Bonds & Clemens in, then they would also have to vote in others who were guilty of cheating after them.

Bonds is a damn HOFer, Clemens is a HOFer. I don't buy the argument of precedence because a majority of guys used, including Ortiz who got in today. Bottom line is that media guys didn't like Bonds like they do Ortiz. Not saying Big Papi shouldn't get in, he's a baller that's deservedly voted in but to let Bonds, and Clemens, drag out for 10 years and still not vote them in? **** them writers...
