When is Willie Mays Getting Kicked Out Of the HOF?

Just saw a report on ESPN that Willie Mays and Willie Stargell are being investigated for giving out and using amphetamines during their playing days.

Amphetamines are uppers, and thus performance enhancers.

So, Willie Mays is being investigated for taking PEDs.

This shouldn't be news... Jim Bouton spoke about greenies (uppers) in "Ball Four" which came out in the mid-70's.

If they'll keep guys like McGwire and Bonds out of the Hall for suspected PED use, I would assume Mays can start packing his bags out of Cooperstown as well, right?

Doubtful. Voters have a double standard.

Sorry Barry, But It May Be Alex

I know I'm getting way ahead of myself here, but let's face it: Alex Rodriguez is on an absolute tear right now. There's no way he's going to maintain this level of power production throughout the season, but if he can somehow keep some measure of high homerun results throughout the season, wouldn't it be nice to see the media more focused on Rodriguez's pursuit of Bonds than Bonds' pursuit of Aaron?

It would also be poetic justice for the guy the media unfairly trashes to steal the spotlight from the guy the media fairly trashes (although not nearly enough). Hey, a guy can dream, can't he?
