Players-Sb

With all of the contention surrounding Roger Samuel Langhorne Clemens and his high-profile steroid case, I got to thought about how dirts can impact athletes' opportunities of making it into their several Halls of Fame. Take for case a participant like Pete Rose. He have been banned from the Hallway of Fame for life. And for what? Betting on baseball game as a player. Now, that sounds like a pretty bad thing, right? Well, I don't cognize about that. Betting on the other squad and then taking a honkytonk is one thing and is in clear misdemeanor of the unspoken moral regulations in baseball. But, Rose didn't make that. Most of the clip he didn't even wager on the Reds. And when he did, he wager that they would win. So, obviously he wasn't taking a honkytonk or cheating to do some speedy cash. Rather, he was supremely confident that his squad would win. I make not see the incorrect in that.

Now, juxtapose Pete's state of affairs with that of Roger Samuel Langhorne Clemens and Barry Bonds. It have been proven that Barry Bonds did, in fact, take steroids to heighten his performance. He have not been punished, though, because no 1 have proven that he knowingly took steroids. But the world of state of affairs is that Bonds had illegal aid getting to where he is today. Ask yourself whether or not Bonds will be inducted into the Hallway of Fame one day. The reply is that he most likely will. Bashes that look fair? Nope. Furthermore, although Bonds have faced a batch of examination from the media, the conference and from once adoring fans, he have not been completely cut off from the game like Rose was - and all without cheating or having some sort of outside aid to support his game.

Roger Samuel Langhorne Clemens is in a similar state of affairs as Bonds. Though conclusive grounds have yet to come up regarding the Samuel Langhorne Clemens affair, Roger have already faced the ever present chitchat that have primarily centered around how this incident will impact his command for the Hallway of Fame. If we travel by what the analysts and bloggers are saying, Roger Samuel Langhorne Clemens may confront a small spot of a besmirched reputation, but will in no manner be precluded from the Hallway of Fame. And obviously he have not been cut off for the baseball game human race as he is still pitching for the Yankees.

The forbiddance of Pete Rose just looks a spot much in my eyes. Here is a participant who played his bosom out, game in and game out. Yes, he made a error in betting on baseball game and on his squad in particular. But when it came to the existent games, he never took a honkytonk or threw a game. He always played to the best of his ability. He was the prototypical competitor. Compared to Bonds who did take steroids and Samuel Langhorne Clemens who may or may not have got taken steroids, Pete Rose looks like he is a batch more meriting of the Baseball Hallway of Fame than either 1 of them.
