IMO: Steroids in the HOF Pt 3/4

In today's piece, we will be looking at some of the most iconic names to use steroids to enhance their game. This is an in my opinion piece, so this is who I think should make it into the Hall of Fame regardless of their actions with PED. I will be looking at stats and career accolades. Before we get into, if you have never heard of Dr. Squatch, then where would you have been? Also, what soap have you been using? Dr. Squatch soap has forever changed my shower for life. I have tried and used 12 of their amazing scents, and each one makes my skin feel new. Its high-quality soap that's all-natural and organic so its better than everything else. They have soap, hand sanitizer, shampoo/conditioner, beard products, and they offer seasonal scents. They have excellent subscriptions as well if you haven't yet gone over to drsquatch.com and order you some shower and life-changing soap TODAY! Alex Rodriguez, aka A-Rod. Over a 22 year career. He carries a 117.5 WAR, 696HR(4th all-time),295BA,3115H, 2086RBI. 3x MVP winner, 14x All-Star, 2009WS, he carried the Yankees too. 2x Gold Glove, 10x Silver Slugger, 1x batting title, 3x ML PoY. Also, to me, he has one of the best swings I have ever seen. Even as he got older, his swing was always fantastic to view. Also, in 2015 was a huge part of my first fantasy baseball championship. He did admit to using PED between 2001-2003 and was suspended for 2014 due to the Biogenesis scandal. I am on the side that his stats and how he has paid his due. He is a changed person. He had an incredible career and should once he is eligible in 2022, more than likely to get in during his eligibility. >Mark McGwire, I honestly think was snubbed out of the HOF after 2016 and wasn't given a fair shot. Arguably one of THE best power hitters of all time set a record for HR in a season with 70 in 1998. Alone by 62.2WAR is month top 12 1B of all TIME. Add on 1626H, 583HR, 1414RBI, ROY award, 12x All-Star, 1989WS ring, 1 Gold Glove, and 3x Silver Slugger. All over 16 years. Now I think he would have made it into the HOF had to not said that PEDs were only a feature of his game, which was played between 1986 and 2001. I think he had been more honest and confessed. We would see in Cooperstown where he deserves to be.Sammy Sosa- one of my favorite players in baseball video games as a kid. Its harder for Sosa because of ties to McGwire, and his support level shows after eight years on the ballot, he is only getting 13.9% of the vote. Sosa still denies ever using PEDs. His HR numbers are his biggest accomplishment, having had 3 60+ HR seasons in a row. He is the only player to do so. Between 1998 and 2002, he has 292HR. He is also a member of the 600HR club that only features nine players. The rest of his career accolades are among the top 20 RF in terms of WAR at 58.6. He has one MVP, 7x All-Star, 6x Silver and Slugger, and on ML PoY award. Overall between 93-04, he hit at least 25HR a season. That long of a run among the best power hitters in baseball shows me that he was one of the best to do it. I think he deserves to get into the HOF. This is going to be a 4 part thing I am realizing. But that's OK! Rafael Palmeiro is the next player. Palmeiro was first on the ballots in 2001. In 2004, he lost his spot due to not getting 5% of the vote to stay on. He was implicated by Conseco in Feb of 2005 and denied his usage. Then he tested positive in August of that year and was suspended. In 2017 Palermeiro went back on the record, saying that he had three negative tests during an arbitration hearing. His positive test caught him off guard. Palmeiro was one of those guys in his 20-year career that was consistently good, but never great. He is one of 6 players ever with 3000H and 500HR, and his 71.9 Career WAR ranks 8th among 1B all time. Palmeiro was a 4x All=Star, 3x Gold Glove, 2x Silver Slugger, and an ML PoY award. Overall, Palmeiro, when he was on the ballot, was terrible timing. If he was on the ballot today, I think he is in the HOF by now. I believe in his career, and he should be there.
