If Manny doesn't get it, neither will A-Rod. I think we should put em all in. Bonds, Rose, everyone, its a museum, build a wing for the "cheaters" and be done with it.

A-Rod shouldn't get in. I never said he should.

Pete Rose should be in as a player.

Nothing he did, in terms of gambling, enhanced his performance. He is the all-time hits leader; each and every last one his hits were legit.

I think Manny actually retired during his last season in Boston, he's just decided now to quit pretending otherwise.

Did anyone actually think Manny's career would have a happy ending?
