"I will not mark the names of Barry Bonds or Roger Clemens on my Baseball Hall of Fame ballot. Nor will I vote for Sammy Sosa or Mike Piazza or Craig Biggio... And I will continue to leave Rafael Palmeiro, Jeff Bagwell and Mark McGwire off my ballot, as well... I suspect each of the above-mentioned players of using performance enhancing drugs. To me, it is not just smoke, but a raging fire, which set the integrity of the game ablaze. And it's still smoldering. For evidence, I present the names of Ryan 'Technicality' Braun and Melky Cabrera for your disapproval." -Pat Caputo

"The people who used steroids just wanted to be better baseball players. That's not a criminal offense, and I don't know that we benefit from putting ourselves on a superior moral plane." -Bill James
