Body Paragraph 2 : When a player retires then the screening committee has to vote on that player. If the 7 out of 9 screening committee members have to vote on you and then you are on step closer to the Hall of Fame. Then if a player gets that many people to vote on him in the screening committee they have to vote again at the end of the screening committee. If a player gets at least 3 votes out of the 9, then he goes to the honor committee but that is a long story so we will skip that. Before you go to the honor committee the screening committee checks your record to see if you have done any bad things. (Naismith 1).

  • Baseball: Should PED Users Be Allowed in the MLB Hall of Fame?

    710 Words  | 2 Pages

    If players did things that are worthy of being in the HOF then they should be recognized for them. There needs to be a wing added for the “The Steroid Era” because players during that era maybe would not have used PEDs if they had played back in another era. These players did cheat the game, but they just did what was happening during their era. Baseball cannot hide from its past, and should not keep trying to cover it up because it will just keep leading to more argument. The MLB and MLB HOF need to accept the dark history of baseball, and compare these players to the players of their own era, and give them the recognition they deserve.

  • Babe Ruth: Steroids In Baseball's Hall Of Fame

    1355 Words  | 3 Pages

    Babe Ruth. Hank Aaron. Nolan Ryan. Cal Ripken Jr. These outstanding Major League Baseball players deservedly earned their spot in baseball’s Hall of Fame. Hank Aaron held the league’s home run record with 755 for 33 years, until it was broken by Barry Bonds at the height of the steroid era (Andy). Aaron has never been accused of steroid use; however, Bonds has. Nolan Ryan can be found at the top of the all-time strikeout list, but Roger Clemens is not far behind. Once again, the former has never been proven to have been on steroids, while the latter was found guilty. It is not fair to the players who achieved their greatness on their own merit to be surpassed, or even grouped alongside, those who cheated the game. The Hall of Fame needs to

  • The Legend Of Jackie Robinson's Major League Baseball

    1530 Words  | 4 Pages

    On December 13, 1956, Jackie was traded from the Brooklyn Dodgers to their arch-nemesis and division rival New York Giants, for Dick Littlefield and $30,000. Instead of accepting the trade and reporting to his new team, Jackie Robinson retired from Major League Baseball. This move made by Jackie Robinson only helped solidify the Dodgers legend, that is Jackie Robinson. In 1962, Jackie Robinson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, an honor that only the best baseball players are selected. The players nominated are not only the best of the best, but they are also recognized for the work in their local communities as well. Jackie Robinson was chosen, because of his monumental accomplishment of not just being the player to break the color barrier in professional sports but the phenomenal player he was as a member of the Brooklyn Dodgers. In 1991, Jackie was also inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame. Before Jackie Robinson made his Major League Baseball debut in 1947, he played the previous season with the Dodgers minor league affiliate in Montreal, Canada. Robinson’s astonishing play in Montreal forced Branch Rickey to call Jackie up before the 1947

    He was later inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1962. Jackie Robinson should not only be recognized for his on-field accomplishments, but for what it took for him to get there as well. Throughout all of the racism in America and baseball, he endured it and pushed through it to set himself up for ultimate success. He endured the hardships of being the only African-American in the league at the time and taking all the hate from the racists, while still putting up remarkable numbers. Even as a white man during the time of integration in baseball, you could have nothing but respect for Jackie Robinson.

  • Pete Rose Baseball Scandal

    1592 Words  | 4 Pages

    Throughout the history of America’s pastime, baseball has continually battled scandals and controversies. From the 1919 “Black Sox” scandal to the current steroid debate, baseball has lived in a century of turmoil. While many of these scandals affected multiple players and brought shame to teams, none have affected a single player more than the 1980’s Pete Rose betting scandal. Aside from the public humiliation he brought his family and the Cincinnati Reds, nothing has done more to hurt Pete Rose than his lifetime ban from baseball making him ineligible for hall of fame. While many are for and against putting Pete Rose in the hall of fame, the four ethical theories, Kantianism, Utilitarianism, Egoism, and Ethical Realism, each have their own unique answer to the question. Through Kantianism Pete Rose should be inducted into the hall of fame, while Egoism, Utilitarianism and Ethical Realism all support the lifetime ban.

  • Anabolic Steroid Use in Baseball

    Baseball?s pride and joy the Hall of Fame is constantly the conversation of self-morals and integrity. The Hall of Fame has asked its voters to consider the players integrity and personality as a whole. The Hall of Fame committee asks that the voters wait until they see truthfulness, integrity, and contrition. Cooperstown is unique compared to the NFL?s Hall of Fame in that Cooperstown actually has a morals clause. This clause states what Cooperstown has been asking the public to consider in the overall integrity of the player. The bottom line is the public believes steroids are illegal and that in any case shall athletes use steroids to get an edge on the game (Cote).

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of Lou Gehrig's Farewell To Baseball Speech

    1129 Words  | 3 Pages

    For this rhetorical analysis paper I chose one of my favorite, and most famous, sports speeches of all time, Lou Gehrig’s farewell to baseball address. Lou Gehrig was a famous baseball player in the 1920’s and 30’s. Lou didn’t really need to use a attention getting introduction, he was well known and loved by so many that people piled into Yankee Stadium to watch and listen to him give this speech. Although he didn’t need an attention getter, he began his speech with one of the greatest baseball quotes of all time, “Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about a bad break I got. Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth.” (Gehrig, 1939) Every single time I hear or read that opening line it sends chills down my spine and stops me for a moment to reflect on everything that is going on in my own life.
