Talk:Barry Bonds's Place in Baseball's Pantheon/@comment-101784-20060316133025

"There was no rule against steroid use in baseball -unless you count the one passed by the US government."

My point was there in fact was a rule against steroids in baseball. Are you arguing that it is sensical that a guy who cheated for at least 8 years of his playing career should make it to the HOF while a guy who played fairly his whole life should eb banned based on what he did years after his playing career ended? Should Kirby puckett be barred from the HOF because he assaulted a woman after he retired? Should Steve Garvey be barred from the HOF because there are a bunch of little Garvey&quot;s running aound calling him daddy that he does not even know about? How can anyone justify putting a cheater into the HOF and keeping guys who played the game right out?
