2014 Baseball HOF

[BP]

Funny how fat Frank escaped the steroid controversy. Best player in the game for 10yrs then the roid scandal hits and he is never close to those numbers again.

Canseco bragged about injecting Pudge with steroids, who lost lots of weight coinciding with the ban but he gets a pass.

If I am not mistaken, Frank started to have injuries around the time when the steroids scandal heated up.

BBWAA strips Dan Le Batard of Hall of Fame vote

The Baseball Writers Association of America has stripped ESPN radio host and Miami Herald writer Dan Le Batard of his Hall of Fame vote for life, they announced. He turned his vote over to Deadspin this year, albeit for no compensation.


Here is the official release from the BBWAA:

The BBWAA Board of Directors has decided to remove Dan Le Batard's membership for one year, for transferring his Hall of Fame ballot to an entity that has not earned voting status. The punishment is allowed under the organization's constitution. In addition, Le Batard will not be allowed to vote on Hall of Fame candidates from this point on. The BBWAA regards Hall of Fame voting as the ultimate privilege, and any abuse of that privilege is unacceptable.

Le Batard said he turned his vote over to Deadspin because it will have "more impact than my next 20 years of votes as sanctimony bars the HOF door on the steroid guys."
