Mark McGwire Shunned By Baseball Hall Of Fame

A quick sports note. Mark McGwire -- at one time considered a first-ballot sure lock for the Hall of Fame -- didn't even come close during his first year of eligibility. Good. Here's hoping every player tainted by steroids gets the same treatment.

Mark McGwire should not be considered for the hall. Baseball does not need tainted records . . . check out www.livetrue61.com

Absolutely. Looked at your website -- you can't go wrong with mark Twain. Any time you need a scatching, dead-on quote, he's got one ready.

Bill Simmons writes a good article, I love the last paragraph . . . "If we really want to do the right thing, let's vote in Rose and McGwire as soon as possible, then inscribe on Rose's plaque that he's a dirtbag who bet on his own team, and inscribe on McGwire's that he almost definitely used performance enhancers and wouldn't answer questions about it under oath."

But to justify the problems of the present with the ills of the past is weak and leads to further problems. It is about moral direction and we as a society are left to set it . . . this is how we do that.
