Barry Sankey's Reaction to The Mitchell Report
Following the release of Sen. George Mitchell's report of widespread steroid use in Major League Baseball, I do not feel that Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds should enter the Hall of Fame despite their monumental achievements on the playing field.
Their use of performance-enhancing drugs allowed them to overachieve illegally.
This goes against what I felt about Pete Rose, who was banned from baseball in the 1980s for gambling. I said he should enter the Hall of Fame for his record number of hits.

Pete Rose's records should stand in the books. Hall of Fame for Pete? Nope - he knew the rules.
The records obtained by ILLEGAL use of drugs should be dropped completely from the records. NO ASTERISKS, NO COMMENTS.
Forgot to add that the users of ILLEGAL drugs should also be banned from the Hall of Fame.
