1) We here at FAUXRUMORS were very happy to hear that former all star first basemen and steroid user(cheater) Mark McGuire was denied a spot in the baseball Hall of fame yesterday. Deserving honorees, Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripkin jr. were admitted on their first year of eligibility, while the former home run king was passed over by the voters
2) There is little doubt that McGuire's dubious denials of steroid usage weren't believed by the baseball writers, who certainly would have included the former A's and cardinal's first basemen in this year's class.
3) We hope this is a trend. When others like Rafael Palmiero, Barry Bonds, etc. are up for a vote, the writers show as much disdain for those apparent cheaters and fail to elect them as well.
