Will Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens Face Another Hall of Fame Rejection Or Get In Via Veterans' Vote?

Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, and Alex Rodriguez deserve Hall of Fame induction. The hypocrisy? David Ortiz and Pudge Rodriguez are already enshrined despite PED connections. Host Sully breaks down the double standard plaguing Cooperstown, arguing that voter bias—not steroids—keeps certain players out while others slide through. The discussion covers Fernando Valenzuela's Veterans Committee candidacy, the 2025 ballot featuring Carlos Beltran and Andrew Jones, and why Bonds was baseball's best player even before his transformation. Sully proposes a controversial solution: induct all PED-era stars simultaneously in "one big gulp." The episode also examines the San Diego Padres' surprising hire of Craig Stammon as manager, an inexperienced choice for a franchise desperate to capture its first World Series title. With Manny Machado leading a championship-caliber roster, can a company man with no managerial track record deliver results? Tune in for this passionate take on baseball's most contentious debate and what it means for the sport's future.
