Ken Griffey Jr Should have been the first 1st unanimous HOF'er

Bonds before Steroids = Yes he is a HOFamer

Clemens before Steroids = Yes he is a HOFamer

[JeffF]

*If Bonds or Clemens make the HOF next year or in two years, they have to give Pete Rose a ballot*

[mannypacu]

For Stephen A, the decision is so clear... it's black and white.

[MicMeTV]

I miss max so much. I would still watch first take if he was there

Barry Bonds hit 73 homers in 2001. Idgaf what you take that's amazing

[davidellis]

Both Roger & Barry should be in the HOF. As should Pete Rose. All did more then enough before any " scandal " to warrant admission.

[BrianSchaffer]

When Stephen A Smith says Clemens should be banned from the HOF for pure stupidity, Bonds fits that same category. He was a clear Hall of Famer at the time he started using, and wanted that kind of recognition?? Why tarnish your career? That is the problem with the people thst think steroid users should be in. They tarnished their own careers, and this is the consequence.

Borderline Clemens HOFer b4 Toronto!?!? Max with all due respect WTF are you smoking?! He was already in case closed..

[ArmondoOrtizLincol]

Talking about baseball yet have no real baseball analyst on, where's Buster Olney ?

[JoFlirt]

I enjoy the excitement Max exudes when talking baseball.

[andresrosa]

If Bonds and Clemens get to the HOF, then Pete Rose and Rafael Palmeiro should be there too.

[paulstone]

How do they justify allowing Ivan Rodriguez and Jeff Bagwell into the HOF? You're either gonna let juicers in or youre not and they've already opened the door.

[hjhbenitez]

Rodger Clemens, Barry Bonds and Stephen A Smith should all be banned from TV and the hall of
As far as I'm concerned, Roger Maris is still the homerun king

[briyoung]

"SENATOR! I was never on steroids! I just bigger and stronger the older i got!"

[jimtruscott]

Why do these people shout and scream ?

[JumpinJakalopes]

Clemens comparably was more than borderline HOF before coming to TO. He had killer seasons in Boston except the last 2

[kingJD]

No one:


Roger Clemens: Sure wish someone would investigate me

[lemar]

Roger Clemens is the first pitcher I remember being a star. He had his own video game as a pitcher for christ sakes..
Baseball is a joke without the PEDs

[harlequin]

0:33 Notice how they show Clemens as a Blue Jay and not a Red Sox or a Yankee LOL.
