Nation sports columnist Dave Zirin questions the Baseball Hall of Fame for not selecting players accused of—or even vaguely connected with—steroid usage.
Press Room
Is the Baseball Hall of Fame ignoring its past? Appearing on Current TV's Viewpoint, Nation sports columnist Dave Zirin criticizes the Hall for not selecting new inductees this year. The Hall left out not only figureheads of baseball’s steroids era like Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens but others like Mike Piazza and Craig Biggio who were never directly implicated in drug use. The Hall is acting like “the 1990s just didn't happen,” Zirin says.
