You can't tell me that Piazza, who is arguably the greatest hitting catcher of all time (at least top 3), shouldn't be inducted as a first year candidate all because some guy says he saw acne on his back! Ridiculous.
Is this really the limit of the evidence at hand? If so, that really is ridiculous. We were having a discussion the other day here about Cooperstown in regards to Ozzie Smith and Alan Trammell. Here
Piazza's never been implicated in any steroid investigation; not the Mitchell Report, which Mets clubhouse employee during his stint with the team, Kirk Radomski, was a major part of, nor has he ever tested positive once. He's only been vilified in columns from New York Times writer, Murray Chass. On that note: http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/01/26/dermatologists-...
