The lifetime ban is a threat to effectively ban him from the Hall of Fame. He doesn't have that many games in him anyway, but the HOF rules state that a banned player isn't eligible. So, this is MLB saying, "You're not even getting to a HOF vote unless you admit you took roids and go away."
You could say he wouldn't get in anyway, but there's a chance that once Bonds gets in (which he will eventually) the rest of the roid guys could get in, too. So he probably thinks he could still get in the HOF. My belief anyway. |

None of the steroid suspected users are going into the HOF anytime soon. McGuire/A-Rod/Bonds/Clemons may not get in until after their death.

They should all be given post career lifetime bans effectively banning them from the HOF and their records stricken. Just me though...

As I said it seems hypocritical but I'd be okay with lifetime bans for everyone. You really want to clean up the game? Void their guaranteed contracts if they test positive.

Not one of them should get in the HOF ever. Not because they used steroids, but because they lied about it when questioned and some still continue to deny that they were users.

McGwire never denied it publicly, A-Rod admitted to doing so a few years ago. Clemens/Bonds are the ones that haven't admitted to it.

He's not gonna get into the hall anyways if he doesnt get banned. Look at Bonds, he's not sniffing it. |

Is there a way for him to not play but still occupy space on the Yankees payroll? That would make me happy, I think.

It will be a shame if McGwire, Sosa, Bonds, or any of these other guys who ruined sports' greatest record EVER get in, even by the veterans' committee.
The league used to say Pete Rose had "tarnished the game", but what the juicers did was much worse, IMO. |
