Baseball writers are a wierd sort anyway, but it's a joke how they do all this handwringing now when it was plain as day by the late '80s that some players were using steroids. Really, they've got as much gall as Rafael Palmiero. Great points Elizabeth.

I don't know where the sportswriters get the idea that they are the judge and jury on all things. If that were the case, let's stick them on the supreme court. Don't worry - we'll make sure there's food in the press room. In the future, if there is a dominant player from Colorado, is he not eligible for the hall of fame based on the altitude? Are we going to start qualifying everything? "Well, that field has a short porch" "He's not eligible because its a weak division" This is a hall of fame, we're not cannonizing saints here.

I mean, in-between media worship of the guy, the same way the media had worshipped Clemens. Just wondering.
