We as Americans have had a history of absolutely killing a persons character in the media when they are accused of wongdoing. We see it everyday across the spectrum and in every facet of industries and jobs. On the flipside, we as Amaericans also have a tremendous willingness to forgive and forget when enough time has passed. There are many examples of Americans who have done wrong and then many years later are saluted as heros. My statement is that when enough time has passed 10, 15, 20 years it seems logical that McGwire, Sosa, and Palmeiro will be welcomed back into the baseball family and heralded once again for their accomplishments. Take Pete Rose for example he in many peoples opinion broke the worst rule in baseball and at the time he did it most people wanted him out of baseball forever. Now all these years later most baseball fans would not be against having him in the Hall of Fame and returning to baseball is some form and he for almost this entire time denied ever commiting any wrongdoing. What I am predicting is that the above mentioned men will down the road be in the Hall of Fame and beloved by a lot more fans then they are today.
