Right now, there are 7 'active' players with 500 or more home runs. Here is the list:
Barry Bonds 762
Sammy Sosa 609
Ken Griffey Jr. 609
Alex Rodriguez 546
Jim Thome 535
Frank Thomas 521
Manny Ramirez 517
Bonds and Sosa are not technically acitve, but neither has officially retired and are still looking for jobs. My question is, who on this list do you believe took steroids and who do you believe is a hall of famer?

Bonds and Sosa most definately took roids. However, I believe Bonds was a hall of famer before the steroid era, so I would vote for him. Sosa is not a hall of famer.
Griffey and Ramirez did not take roids and both are first ballot hall of famers.
Thomas, although he is a monster, did not take roids. I do believe he is a hall of famer, but maybe not on the first ballot.
Thome is questionable. My gut tells me he took them. Either way, I don't think it matters, because he is not a hall of famer in my book. Played too many games as a DH and 500 home runs during the steroid era is not as impressive as it used to be.
As much as I hate A-Rod, I don't think he took roids and he is a for sure 1st ballot hall of famer (even if he retired today).
i think they'll all be hall of famers. there is no standard to help definie which steroid takers should be allowed in and which shouldn't.
bonds - 1st ballot
sosa - should be 1st ballot, but writers are idiots sometimes
griffey - 1st ballot
manny - 1st ballot
*i agree neither of these guys juiced
thomas - 3rd or 4th ballot, also didn't juice
thome - might be the offensive bert blyleven, but should eventually get in, don't think he juiced
arod - 1st ballot, didn't juice
good post, by the way.
Bonds has got to be in the hall. His numbers before 1999 were unbelievable. But i think these stupid writers feel like they need to punish "cheaters" so i don't know if he will get in. Griffey, Ramirez and Big Hurt are first balloters. I think Thome will get in but probably not first ballot. A-rod will go down as the best player to play the game. I don't think sosa will get in, or palmerio.
they all should be in, the one i question is thome, he goes into the hall of very good
