He'll have a long enough playing career afterwards that he might be able to wipe the tarnish off his reputation, at least enough to get in to the HOF. Unless of course some other shoes drop. I'd give Arod about a 50/50 shot of being elected by the writers. I think Bonds chances are maybe at around 10%. Slim, but not non-existant.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('9063','John Lease'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('9063','John Lease','Although I\'d like to concur, I think Rodriguez has the best chance of any of them.

Maybe the writer's will think about that as time goes on, and some will change their stance. Either way, I don't want to see any steroid abusers in The Hall. None. As a fan, I want it clean of steroids. In fact, I think that if someone gets in AND then is found to have used during their career...they should be removed. That could put someone like Gaylord Perry in a predicament though, since he's known to have doctored the baseball a lot and that is another form of cheating. But hey, I honestly think there's a serious difference between that & steroids. I hope that someday Cooperstown allows Shoeless Joe in. He was framed.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('6781','Devon Young'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('6781','Devon Young','I recently read an article that quoted from a 1969 SI article about performance enhancers used by players back then, including HOFer Bob Gibson.
