Sosa is the 5th man to have 600 hr. These writers need to get off their soapboxes and just use their vote for the players that distinguished themselves from other players.

I agree, keeping a guy with Sosa's numbers out of the Hall would turn the HOF into a joke...a popularity contest like American Idol. There is already one absentee that tarnishes the Hall imo...
