Great to see Fred McGriff get elected to the #BaseballHOF. One of my all-time favorite players, and I'll never forget his amazing run after the #AtlantaBraves traded for him during the 1993 season. Stuff of legend.

Disagree if you like but IMO #BarryBonds should get into #Cooperstown. So should #RogerClemens, #PeteRose and #ShoelessJoeJackson.

I hate that the way the #BBWAA acts like the #MoralityPolice for #Baseball.

They're hypocrits because there are already so many suspected #Steroid users that they voted into the #BaseballHOF, like "Big Poppi."

Barry & Clemens both have another chance this coming 12/4 and I hope they both get in this time.
