Tommy Lasorda: No on Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens or Sammy Sosa to the Hall of Fame

“To me, they don’t belong in there. They cheated. That’s the way it is. If my brother did that, I’d say the same thing about my brother. I mean, I know those guys. They’re good friends of mine. But by golly, they didn’t do it the right way. I tell you, it’s a shame. How in the hell could a guy hit 73 friggin’ home runs? I mean, Babe Ruth couldn’t do it.”



 --- Tommy Lasorda, Hall of Fame manager, Los Angeles Dodgers

Barry Bonds vs. The Hall of Fame

Voting shall be based upon the player’s record, playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character, and contributions to the team(s) on which the player played.
