sports : SHOULD MARK MCGWIRE BE IN THE MLB HALL OF FAME? [+] serious ballot by jappy ACTIVE Mon Dec 04, 06 - Sat Aug 29, 09 Mark McGwire broke the long standing single season home run record after a neck and neck race with Sammy Sosa, bashing long balls for several months, in some ways bringing baseball back from the brink of extinction. A few years later, the steroid scandal breaks, and McGwire is dragged into the muck even though he was retired at the time, for at least having used a substance that, while not banned at the time, is now banned from use in Major League Baseball. Looking at his body of work, on the basis of his numbers alone, his entry into the Hall of Fame is a no brainer, he is easily a first ballot entry. So, should McGwire be voted into the Hall Of Fame this year, this being the first year he is eligible? Does his use of a performance enhancing substance effectively ruin your opinion of him? Or is it unfair to hold him to standards that weren't in place when he was playing the game? If McGwire is to be subjected to scrutiny based on new rules, should all players currently in the Hall of Fame also be looked at again the same way? Yes, he should be voted in, first ballot. Yes, he should be voted in, not in the first year though. No, he should never be voted in, because his numbers aren't good enough. No, he shouldn't be voted in, because of the steroids scandal Don't know No. If it wasn't illegal at the time, then it doesn't count. Laws are not retroactive.
