The sports writers IMO are wrong to deny his induction based on hear-say.
Very true.
My biggest problem is that only the good players are getting smeared. The Randy Velarde's and Benito Santiago's of the league get away clean.
I'm mixed on the Mcguire thing, and I'd have to look at his numbers with a little more scrutiny before I decide what I think of his potential HoF induction. But, stats aside, he and Sosa made 1998 MAGIC for this country, baseball wise. They brought the game back from the strike year. I think there's some weight that should be added for that.
