I guess he got the message that he wasn't getting into the Hall of Fame without an admission. It remains to be seen if he will get in now.

He was never going to get in before, and will never get in now.

And it is quite possible that they will mess around with his tainted HR record also

The whole era is ruined in terms of numbers. Don't let anyone into the Hall.

Thats a wonderful plan. Penalize Derek Jeter, one of the best SS of all time for dopes like this creep. Penalize Albert the great too.

I think Albert uses. So do fellow players who knew him in high school.

They're not going to mess with his home run record. . . especially considering he doesn't hold the record anymore. They would have to basically wipe an entire era of baseball from the record books.

That Larussa interview this morning was appaling. What a liar! Why did they even bother to have that clown on at all when they knew he has his own agenda and would defend Mcgwire to the end of the earth.

The only one telling the truth throughout all this is Jose Canseco.

Translated it sounds more like "kiss my ass, the only reason I'm admitting this is because Mr. DeWitt has brought me back into the game that I cheated for many years. If he doesn't bring me back to the game, I deny it to my grave."

Who is this McGuire? Paul?

[Gander]

He wasnt even that great of a player, steroids or not.

How quickly people forget

at the time few cared about baseball
the bogus home run derby brought baseball back to the fore

they sure were quick to throw
McQuire and Sosa under the bus.

ingrates

[herkhorse]

I'd rather see Rose get in than this bum.

he wasn't offered immunity for his testimony before congress. his refusal to discuss steroids at the time makes a lot more sense in light of that. he was basically given the choice of admitting a criminal act with no guarantee he wouldn't be prosecuted, committing perjury, or doing what he did.

i need to do some research and resurrect the barry bonds threads from a few years back. people were still insisting there was no proof he used the year he broke mcguire's "record".

those would be fun to see again.

Now the MLB office needs to restore the HR records back to it's rightfull owners:
Hank Aaron and Roger Maris. Put the freakin asterisk next to the names of all those cheaters who presently hold them!
