Steroids in baseball is the current "hot topic." My opinion on this is pretty simple. The guys who have set records while on steroids is a done deal. The records are set in stone and I don't think there should be another * fiasco like there was when Marris set the HR record in 1961. If that was going to be the case, how many records were set by someone who was on steroids, how do we know if they were on steroids at the time the record was set, and exactly how much thicker will the baseball records book have to be in order to add all of those asterisks to it.

When it comes to punishment for baseball players who test positive for steroids it's simple. First offense, 81 game suspension (1/2 season) and for the second offense put him on the life time ban list with Pete Rose. It is my opinion, that anyone who has ever tested positive for steroid use, or has ever admitted to the use of a banned substance should never become eligible for the Hall of Fame, no matter what their accomplishment. If Rose betting on baseball warrants a life time ban from baseball and the Hall of Fame, surely "doping" deserves the same ban. I, personally, am of the opinion that Rose does not deserve a life time ban......what he did was wrong, and removing him from the game was enough punishment....but his betting had nothing to do with the Hall of Fame worthy stats he put up on the field. Keep him out of baseball if you want....but his accomplishments on the field surely warrant induction to the Hall.
