They are, indeed, one and the same in relation to the Congressional hearings, but McGwire has been villified and Sammy has been given a pass.

I see what you mean. I wonder whether it's because McGwire actually owned the record, or because he's eligible for Cooperstown so there's a little more scrutiny on his resume than Sosa's. I tend to go with the latter there.

A cinch for the Hall of Fame. Not first ballot, but he will get in.

So what's he going to do between that first ballot and the one that gets him in to help his cause? Hit more homers?

I'd like to nominate this for dumbest comment of the year.

It's possible that was an editorial comment about the unwritten rules of voting. I know reasonable people who think if a person is good enough for the Hall of Fame, you vote accordingly whether it's his first time on the ballot or his fifth. I'm not saying they're right or wrong, but that could be the thinking behind the post in question.

Any comment from Bud Selig on Sammy's 600th yet?
Click to expand...
No and really don't expect one. He didn't have anything to say when Bonds hit 600 or 700 and nothing when he hit 715.
 
Bud Selig is an idiot. Steroids or not (none of which has been proven), this guy just hit his 600th home run. He's the fifth guy to do it.

You'd think it'd warrant some sort of comment, even if it's just "Good Job Sammy" in a damned press release.
