Pinstripe Alley: Will you support Barry Bonds
with your Hall of Fame vote? What about Roger Clemens 
and A-Rod?
Rob Neyer: I don't get to vote until (I think) 2019. But yes, I plan to vote for all three of them if they're still on the ballot. Does anybody want to argue that they wouldn't have posted Hall of Fame numbers without steroids?

BONDS: Hey Judge, let's forget about that secret recording
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—In March 2003, Barry Bonds’
business partner and personal trainer stood in front of the slugger’s locker in the San Francisco Giants
clubhouse and appeared to discuss steroids and needles.
The business partner, Stevie Hoskins, secretly recorded the conversation with the trainer, Greg Anderson, and later turned it over to federal investigators.
On Friday, Bonds’ attorney will ask U.S. District Judge Susan Illston to prohibit the recording from being played during the former player’s perjury trial, scheduled to begin March 21 with jury selection.
