Jeff Idelson -- a dude that works for the Baseball Hall of Fame -- was on the Dan Patrick Show today in which they discussed Barry Bonds' 756th home run ball going into the Hall. But in addition to some chatter about that, Idelson dropped this nugget:"Have you thought about a steroid exhibit in the Hall of Fame?" Patrick asked. "Brian McNamee says to you, 'Jeff, I've got some vials, I've got syringes, I've got HGH... I'd like to donate it to the Hall of Fame.'"I suppose this makes sense. The PED area of baseball has been a large -- if not the largest -- topic of conversation these past couple years.ou would think the HOF would in some way address the issue. Good thing they're choosing not to highlight how HGH and the like (allegedly) helped Barry Bonds break the most hallowed record in sports, (allegedly) kept Roger Clemens in top form into his 40s and kept fringe players in the game longer than they should have been. No positive effects here at all.
"There's no doubt that in time we will address steroids and human growth hormones in our museum. It's a part of the game," replied Idelson. "It's a lousy part of the game, but it's part of the game's history...But when we do tell the story, it will be in the context perhaps of good medicine versus bad medicine. It will be done in an educational way. Would we accept artifacts or items from Brian McNamee? I don't know, I mean if it allows us to tell the story in an educational way, we'd consider it. But if it's just to have, I doubt we'd take them."
Because remember kids, steroids are bad for you!
