Reaction to the leaked Steroid names

The biggest names (stats from Baseball-Statistics):
  • Roger Clemens - what can you say about Clemens that hasn't already been dissected...the name most non-baseball fans will recognize.
  • Albert Pujols - one of the superstars in the National League, Pujols had a "down" year batting .327, 32HR, 103RBI. In his seven seasons, all with the Cardinals, he's averaging .332, 42HR, 132RBI. An All-Star 6 of his seven years, he's a beloved player...a huge blow to MLB.
  • Jeff Bagwell - formed a long-standing triumvirate of Astros position players with Craig Biggio and Lance Berkman, Bagwell was a four-time All-Star and MVP in 1994.
  • Ivan Rodriguez - known as "pudge," one of the best catchers of all time. A former AL-MVP and a 14 time All-Star.

Here's the names who are also on the Writer's Ballot for the Hall of Fame

  • Brady Anderson
  • Mark McGuire

This is truly a sad day for baseball that all fans have been expecting.
