Jim Caple makes a very good point on McGwire, who really should be in the hall of fame:

And speaking of [Gaylord] Perry, funny how writers won’t vote for Mark McGwire despite no actual proof he took steroids (which were not specifically banned by baseball at the time) but didn’t have a problem voting in Perry despite his own admittance to cheating by throwing the spitter (which was banned four decades before Perry reached the majors). Perhaps writers should make it clear just which forms of cheating warrant inclusion in the Hall of Fame and which warrant exclusion, ridicule, dishonor and sanctimonious moralizing.
