Weiner: Steroids Shouldn't Keep Players From Hall

WASHINGTON - The head of the Major League baseball players' union thinks steroid use shouldn't keep a player out of the Hall of Fame.

Michael Weiner told the National Press Club on Wednesday he thinks the Hall of Fame "is for the best baseball players that have ever played."

Weiner thinks Pete Rose should be in the Hall despite Rose's history of gambling, and he expects that there will be team executives inducted in the Hall who previously engaged in what Weiner called the "massive conspiracy called collusion" against the players.

He also likened negotiations between the owners of baseball teams and the athletes they employ to national economic problems.

Using drugs don't keep men from becoming President of the most powerful nation the world has ever seen, but they can keep a man from some sports honor? LOL!! Me thinks many of you are using a hypocritical standard to fit your personal ideas of right and wrong, without regard to the idiocy of your stance.
