So why did I vote for McGwire’s induction into Cooperstown?
For the same reason I will one day likely cast votes for Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds. Mark McGwire was among the greatest players of his generation, one that will forever be stigmatized as the Steroids Era. But because I consider it unfair to exclude that entire generation from the Hall, I also think it ludicrous to set myself up as judge and jury about which players were tainted and which were innocent.
