Total bullsh*t. He's only the greatest offensive catcher in the history of the game.

I think the writers sent a message and no offensive players from the so called steroid era got in (or will get in) on their first try.

Biggio and his 3,000 hits didn't get in either, and with Maddox and Glavine eligible next year it could be a long wait for some guys.
I bet Frank Thomas doesn't get in next year in his first year of eligibility either.

Remember all those rumors about him being gay? I had the chance to meet him in Vegas through a mutual friend. I assure you those rumors were completely false. Either that or the incredible looking women he was with was an act. Incredibly nice guy, too.

I'm biased, but I think Biggio's deservingness is greater than Piazza's.

Yes. I'm not sure he was an all star as a catcher, but he started at least 300 games at C, 2B and CF.
