Gwynn, Ripken elected to Hall of Fame; McGwire vetoed

Glad too see that McGwire didnt make it.
Cheating is cheating,period.
And if Pete Rose cant be in the HOF,than neither should anyone
who abused steroids.
I also hope the voting board continues with this,when Barry Bonds comes up.

But enough of the cheaters,Congrats to Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken!
