The worst part is that Bonds and Clemens aren't in bc of steroids, yet Bud Sellig, the guy who actually allowed players to be on roids in the first place, is in the Hall

[corpyhogan]

The MLB refuses to get with the times and that’s exactly why they don’t appeal to young audiences as much as the NFL or NBA Lol

[josephaustin]

Barry Bonds has 7 MVPs. He’s arguably the greatest ever. To not have him in is ridiculous. He was great before, after, and during the roids. Most players cheated during that era it basically was a leveled playing field. Other guys took roids and never came close to Bonds level

[ShooterSanoff]

Willie Mays and Barry Bonds are the greatest living baseball players. This is not the real HOF if Bonds, Rose and Clemens are not in it.

[davidcarrasquillo]

Listen the hall of fame is a joke they knew that the steroids was being used by players Sammy Sosa and Mark McGuire saved baseball it was fun to watch but they all got screwed and punished in the end by MLB period.

[abdirahmaanh]

What is that sound at 3:03. Straight nightmare fuel

[Phil-uitm]

A great starting pitcher is the most important position in baseball. That’s why Schilling played and won multiple WS titles. He was much more valuable than Trevor Hoffman or any other closer that’s in HOF.

[antt]

Fact is Barry Bonds never failed a drug test. He played at the top level before and after that stuff came in. Even his last years in the league wit a messed up leg and getting walked he banged it out the park. Bonds was just the best!

[zachcoggins]

These clowns put in Bud Selig, the guy who turned a blind eye to the juicing going on while raking in the cash, while not putting in arguably the GOAT in

[tbaze]

Sammy sosa was a 30 30 guy 5 straight years before he was on the juice maybe he wouldn’t have had 650 hrs but definitely 500

[jeethha]

Omar Vizquel has the highest fielding percentage in MLB history for a shortstop. Put him in the Hall of Fame now!

[davidatherton]

straight up... ESPN is terrible at dealing with cameras. The amount of time it is on people after they are done talking is astounding.

[jackson]

I'm a friend of Curt's and he has never said a bad thing about you Stephen A !!!

[Urbohat]

Barry Bonds in SF was the most dominant player in any sport I have ever seen in my life. They refused to pitch to him more than half the time and especially in the playoffs. If he's NOT in the HOF then there is no HOF. Clemens also I believe had 3 Cy Youngs Before he left Boston and supposedly took HGH in Toronto.

[LouieR.]

Jeff Passan has vinyl copies of wu-tang, rage against the machine and radio head. Plus the snes, you sir are a legend

[isaacdonnelly]

Bonds is the most deserving out of those three

[dustman]

I like Jeff Passan just for the fact that he has an original NES console behind him.

[borood]

Schilling's comments helped him more than hurt him. He was at 40% now he almost got in. His career on the field is borderline, I don't think he actually deserves it, but lesser careers have made it.

[tccandler]

Clemens -- Yes. Bonds -- Yes (after his death). Schilling -- No. Pete Rose -- Yes (with an official apology from MLB to him).

CURT SCHILLING DESERVES TO BE IN!....I'm not watching MLB baseball until Curt Schilling is in...looks like I'm never watching MLB baseball again, which I'm cool with.
