Manny's HOF voting will be interesting. He played during testing and didn't test positive until he was old and maybe getting desperate. Tough to leave a guy with his resume out but......

Weren't there sources that named him in that steroid list that SI got a hold of a couple years ago?

Don't really know how I feel about steroid era players. MLB put themselves back on the map while riding the wave of numbers these guys put up after the strike in '94.

They all knew they were using. But now they get all high and mighty after their careers are over and have nothing else to contribute on the field?

It also seems to me that the same writers that marveled at these guys during the 90's are shitting on them now. And they act like they didn't know. Bullshit.

Him and Ortiz were on the list but those lists never said what they tested positive for. Plus Manny was passing tests from 2004-2008 so who knows what triggered that positive. There's a lot of over the counter stuff that isn't known to many to be the cause of the positive test. Ortiz, who I feel is a stand up guy, tried to find out what his test was positive for and the records are sealed.
