    Sports writer who won't vote for Hall of Fame candidates

    Can anyone give me the name of the sports writer who said that he will refuse to vote for any baseball Hall of Fame candidates who played during the PED era? I would like to know who he is and where he works. To vote against a player who was clean like Marino Rivera because he played during an era when some others cheated is ridiculous. In fact, he ought to give the players who didn't take PED's more credit. If anyone can give me this information I would appreciate it.

    Murray ChASS

    He's holding onto his vote out of spite, and the person next up to have the vote he doesn't like.

    The baseball HOF has become such a joke in the last 20-30 years what difference does it make?
    The hall of good players should be it's name.
    It took Duke Snider, The Duke of Flatbush, what 11 or 12 years to get elected.
    Many of the players elected like Ozzie Smith and Barry Larkin don't belong. And the veterans committee is putting everyone half decent in.
    It's a joke.

    I believe Larkin is a HOF'er. Silver Sluggers, Gold Gloves and an MVP. He also has the All Star nods. He doesn't have any sexy milestone numbers but he was one of the most complete SS in the game. Ozzie on the other hand was a one trick pony but he did have 13 gold gloves and 15 all star nods. Personally I think Ozzie should have been a year 15 candidate at best.
