Henderson made it by a huge margin--95%, I think.

Jim Rice made it by seven votes.

Mark Grace and Don Mattingley didn't get in? WTF? Hell, Mark should be in there as well. Damn the controversy. He wasn't on steroids, he was taking creatin that any fool can buy in GNC.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

They'll get in eventually. Hardly anyone makes it on the first year of eligibility, or second or third for that matter. McGwire was taking androstenedione, there is video footage of bottles of it sitting in his locker during post-game interviews floating around. But, it wasn't banned by MLB and you could get it at GNC back then.
