McGwire has admitted to taking steroids. And again, you keep glossing over the fact that it is
illegal. Baseball may not have had a policy in place, but the federal government did.

Ty Cobb was a racist. Cap Anson is credited with the unwritten rule of keeping blacks out of baseball. Babe Ruth was a womanizer. Lou Gehrig was an alcoholic. The HOF is littered with individuals that made decisions that could be considered morally reprehensible. They didn't use an illegal substance to give them an unfair advantage over other players. THAT'S my issue.
