I'm joining the cry to keep all of the players who used steroids out of the hall of fame. Some were clearly destined for a spot and need extra pushing to keep them out. I'm talking about that portly pitcher making the headlines from Fox Sports to ESPN Deportes. You know who you are, Bart Miadich.
Page 212 of the newly released report says
Radomski described Miadich as a frequent purchaser of small quantities of testosterone and Winstrol from 2002 to 2005. Radomski also said that Miadich advised him that he was getting human growth hormone elsewhere. According to Radomski, Miadich called him regularly, including when Miadich was playing in Japan in 2005, when he called to buy performance enhancing substances for use during the upcoming off-season.
My personal goal is to keep him out of the Hall of Fame. If he gets in I will take it as a personal assault. It will be tough given his career stats:
Year Tem W L GM S CG INPI H R ER HR BB SO HBP WP IBB BK ERA WHIP
+-----------+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+--+------+----+----+----+
2001 ANA 0 0 11 0 00 10.0 6 5 05 02 08 11 0.0 01 000 0 04.5 1.400
2003 ANA 0 0 01 0 00 02.0 5 4 04 00 01 03 1.0 01 000 0 18.0 3.000
Let's remember Bart Miadich as proof that massive steroids use can't turn just anyone into a great baseball player. And Let's keep him out of the Hall.

Please remember that Bart Miadich is a special case. Based on his ERA, the performance enhancing drugs apparently affected the batters he faced. That would not have happened if the FDA was approving these drugs for use by professionals. The untested stuff should be left for use by high school kids hoping to follow in the footsteps of their heroes.
