Jeff Bagwell has been elected to the Hall of Fame.

By far one of my favorite Astros ever.

I caught a Bagwell HR ball during is rookie year when I was like 10 years old.  Some old man tackled me and took the ball.  I hope that guy died a slow painful death.

Time to let them all in!  Two of this year's class should help pave the way.

Clemens, Bonds, McGwire, Sosa etc were the greatest of their era.  Everyone was doing it(including Bagwell imo) and they were the greatest.  The MLB made more money on that era than any before or since.  Let them all in and try to keep it from happening in the future.  

 

Pete Rose should be in also....

Interesting discussion on Mike and Mike this morning. Bagwell admitted using Andro during a time it was not illegal. He never tested positive afterwards. Clemens, Bonds, and McGwire (along with A-Rod, et al) all got caught using after PED's were banned by the MLB. 

I agree with the argument that PED's do not make you a better ball player and therefore these guys SHOULD be in the HOF. I also understand why they will take longer to get there.
