The banning of Bonds and others like him makes little sense to me. Its too little too late because i'm convinced that there is already a player who made it into Cooperstown who was a roider. Three reasons to support this:

1. Jose Canseco has alleged it. As much of a ******bag as he is, the guy was always spot on with his accusations. He's been proven true almost always.

2. Tom Boswell in the Tenth Inning of Ken burns baseball series, said that he watched a player in the 80s take a "Jose Canseco milkshake", basically intimating that he knew the player was a user. He then went on to say that player hit more home runs that year than at any point in his career and went on to the Hall of Fame.

3. Eric Byrnes said he knows a HOFer from the 70s and 80s who admitted to steroid use during his career.

Any ideas on who this player is? Or are there multiple users in the hall? Puckett? Boggs? Henderson? Ryan? Dawson? God forbid...Ripkin? These were just a few names I thought of. Anyone have any other theories as to who the player/players is or are?

Gwynn, he was just in too good of shape for too long.

Nolan Ryan's resurgence in the final season with the Astros and into his tenure with the Rangers seems suspicious. His Ks/9 innings per year from age 39 on dramatically increased over his career numbers from age 34-38. Plus he seemed to go from a scrawny guy to well-towned but that may just be the Ventura fight image being stuck in my head.

I think it's Henderson. Played with Canseco and LaRussa in the 80's...a bad combination

Why?

If in principal you don't believe roiders should be in the Hall of Fame, then I would think you'd rather not put a roider in rather than put a guy you don't want in because another guy(s) you don't want in snuck in at some point.

If it's Jackson that would be hilarious. The guy has been so vocal about his dislike for steroid users.
