The BBWA threw a Complete Game No no Today as No One gets into Cooperstown as the Closest Players to getting the Necessary Totals was 'Stros C/2B/OF Craig Biggio (pictured Below in Astros Jersey) with 68.2 %. His Partner in Crime 'Stros 3B/1B Jeff Bagwell received 59.6 % of the Votes according to Baseball.org. Why was it a Shutout well a lot of the Players that played in the PED Era in the Show with Monsters HOF Worthy Totals were on the Ballot like Barry Lamar Bonds, Roger That Clemens, and I am Sammy Sosa..and he will most likely never get in. That leads me the Bluedude to the Question of the Month. If anyone gets in Today it had to be Biggio and Raines (A Top 3 Montreal Expo of All-Time) with all them Stolen Bases and Hits.Would you Vote some of the Known Users of PED's into the Hall of Fame or the Ones on Suspicion? A lot of things in this Country is built on Sex, Lies, and Videotapes so would you?

RHP Roger Clemens 37.6 %
OF Barry Bonds 36.2 %
1B Mark McGwire 16.9 %
