Schilling in asking to be taken off ballot:

 

“I’ve certainly been exposed to racism and sexism and homophobia as it’s part of who human beings are. I’ve played with and talked with gay teammates. I’ve played with wife beaters, adulterers, assaulted, drug addicts and alcoholics. I’ve never hit a woman, driven drunk, done drugs, PEDs or otherwise, assaulted anyone or committed any sort of crime. But I’m now somehow in a conversation with two men who cheated, and instead of being accountable they chose to destroy others lives to protect their lie. I will always have one thing they will forever chase. A legacy. Whatever mine is as a player it will be the truth, and one I earned for better or worse.”

Bonds needs to be peroid. Litterally every era of Baseball had some level of cheating.

Bonds Clemons and Schilling need to be in. Bonds and Clemons were easily hall of famers before their supposed steroid taking. The MLB screwed up for not policing its players effectively enough so it's not fair to arbitrarily choosing who to add and who to cut.

What I take from this is how you slipped the word 'supposed' in there... Like there is some doubt.

Loll I thought twice before adding but they haven't technically been found guilty of it.

Pal, do I have some news for you...

Schilling not doing himself any favours by acting this away. Him requesting to be taken off the ballot is this forum's equivalent of people asking to be banned instead of, you know, just leaving.

I've only been here a year but I can definitely see a few folks pulling that stunt here lol.

 

It's an ego trip that he feels he should already be voted in by now. I do agree with that notion though. Guy was a friggin beast.

Hall Of Fame has become a farce, Bonds, Clemens and Schilling should be in now, who's coming up on the ballot, A-Rod and Papi I know, who else?

On precedent A-Rod definitely out. Papi rumors weren’t strong enough, so he’ll get in. Plus he got capped so that’ll gain him some sympathy

David Ortiz is going to be a clear first-ballot hall of famer, despite not being as good as Edgar Martinez, who they took forever to induct.

 

Even if A-Rod doesn't get in, he'll get at least 60% of the vote on his first go-around and eventually make it in before his time expires on the ballot.

Yeah. ARod was suspended twice. By the numbers he's an easy HOF but if you're a voter who's trying to keep guys out if you knew for sure used PEDs then you won't vote for him obviously.

 

As for Papi, do you get sympathy when you get shot because you were f***ing around with a drug lord's woman?

There's no chance that Pigf***er McGee gets into the HOF, right? I mean, that can't possibly happen...

This.

 

Not sure if you guys heard Shi's comments on Schilling, what a clown.

 

Oh s***, lol...

At the crux of things in this voting cycle was Curt Schilling, who continued to spew vile, divisive and dangerous political rhetoric.

Nah, Joe Nathan would get in before him, I believe. Now that I look at it maybe they do, dominant numbers.

Did you actually read the letter and the rational, or only heard that he want's to be taken off?
