The day a known steroid user makes it in the Hall of Fame is the day I will boycott baseball altogether for the rest of my life (in essence, banning myself for life from baseball), because I feel that it is a double-standard that while gamblers (Pete Rose) and game-throwers ("Shoeless" Joe Jackson and the "Black Sox") are outlawed from the Hall of Fame, drug cheats like Mark McGwire are being considered for it. And that does not sit very well with me, because as I said, it's a double standard.
