There can only be a consensus on one of two positions:
a) that steroid users should not be in the Hall of Fame,
or
b) that steroid use is not an issue in the debate.
Between the two extreme positions, it becomes a fluid discussion. Once we move away from the one extreme, in my view, we will begin to drift inevitably toward the other.
From a fantastic article by Bill James in which he finally speaks out on the steroids-era in baseball.
Incidentally, I came across this via Seth Meyers’ Twitter account (@SethMyers21). The more of his “Tweets” I come across, the more I like him. I always enjoyed his interviews on Bill Simmons’ podcast, and now I’d love to find more of him out there. He’d be a great talk show host, I think.
