If Jim Thome is on that list, my heart will be broken.

[Larry]

If Barry Bonds is on the list, I will be surprised!

[Sim]

I'm shocked...I thought it was normal for men to throw 100 mph fastballs well into their mid-40s.....

[Onislandtime]

Tony Gwynn and John Kruk are on the pizza list.

I want to see everyboby criticize Roger with same venom that they came at Bonds with. I dont wan to see people try to explain this away because they like Roger. I know that people are hating this because now they have to judge Roger the same way, so they won't be hypoctites. Don't play situational ethics here, if you said Barry did it, then Roger did it. If barry doesn't got to the Hall of Fame, then Roger doesn't. Sorry people, you spoke to soon with your judgement, now you must deal with it, and don't think that it ends with the Rocket, it will get worse and then you will have nothing to say.

Give these guys a break, if you had the chance to play pro ball you would sell your left nut.

I wouldn't be surprised if Nolan Ryan, Ryne Sandberg and Cal Ripken are on there too. Prominent Yankees? How about A-rod, Sheff, Posada, Clemons, Giambi (who we already know about)....dare we say, Jeter? All this will do is lessen the criticism of Barry Bonds. they all deserve and asrterisk.

It's ridiculous to go back in time and stigmatize great players for participating in the culture of the sport, especially when legal bans were for the most part loose, unenforced, or non-existent.

Steroids have been part and parcel with the game for the bulk of my lifetime. That's just the way it was. No one should be surprised by Clemens.

If Jason Tyner is on the list, I will be surprised.

Instead of tax money to pay for a new stadium...I'd be willing to spend that money on steroids for the Rays...then, perhaps, we can have a winning season...

[Mark McGwire]

I'm on the list.

[Kenneth]

It's a sad state of affairs in this country when so many will simply blow off cheating with a casual "everybody's doing it". These guys should be banned from the Hall of Fame - that's the ultimate punishment, bar them from receiving an award of honor such as this.

[Mac]

Thanks to characters like this, my 16 year old daughter on her high school weightlifting team, is subject to FHSAA steroid tests!

Where is "Kennesaw Mountain" Landis now that we really need him? If the commisioner really has an "grapefruits",he will have ALL of these bozos join Pete Rose on the "banned for LIFE" list
