McGwire, Congress, and The Hall of Fame

Quote of the week:

Jeff Blair of The Toronto Globe and Mail, who said he would vote for McGwire, said: “Please spare me the drivel about McGwire’s performance before Congress. Seems to me that stonewalling congressmen is an accepted fact of life on Capitol Hill.”

I'm not so sure McGwire should be in the Hall -- he's certainly not up to the standards of Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripkin, his ballot mates this year -- but his inartful testimony before a Senate committe has nothing to do with that.
