Fred Lynn

Would you put Fred Lynn in the hall of fame before Alex Rodriguez?

Considering that Lynn was a natural talent that did not cheat and Alex is not only a cheat but he has continually disrespected the game by walking over the pitchers mound, knocking the ball from Bronson Arroyo, yelling at infielders to drop balls.
Hell he even called out Jeter when he was winning a 3 peat & he was losing in Seattle.
Basically A-rod is a d-bag of magestic proportions.
Would you vote for Fred Lynn in the hall before Rodriguez?

Fergie Jenkins was placed on the permanently ineligible list by then commissioner Bowie Kuhn when customs agents found him to be in possession of cocaine, pot, and hash. In the 80's cocaine was the PED that was most cracked down on because it leads to extreme hypertension, erratic mood swings, and is a hard core addiction. The only drug tests that were issued in the 80's were for cocaine and amphetamines and were only issued by the club and only when they choose to issue a test. Jenkins did eventually make the HOF, though the voters shunned him for many years. Other drug free players with lesser career numbers were passed over for the player caught red handed with PED's. I realize that ESPN doesn't talk much about cocaine as a PED in 2011 but in 1988 that was an even hotter topic than steroids are now. Though I now appreciate the great career of Fergie Jenkins I grew up hating him because of all of the trash talked about him by sports writers on ESPN and other such sports channels, newspapers, and magazines all over being caught with a very small amount of drugs. If history is any indication of how the writers will go with this they will put Alex Rodriguez in over Fred Lynn. What I would do is irrelevant because I am not a HOF voter.
