Home runs are not the only criteria one should consider when deciding who should be in the Hall of Fame.  I think that 500/3000/300 should be a good guideline for a lock, but especially if a modern player is clean, it shouldn't be the only criteria.  

McGwire and Bonds and Sosa?  They used steroids, obviously.  That should be a factor in the decision of the baseball writers.  I guess I wouldn't mind if Bonds made it on his pre-steroids numbers alone, but it does an extreme disservice to the greats if we pretend as if they got where they are on their own power.  (Or if the superstar athlete who treats his body as a finely honed machine 'didn't know' what his trainer was giving him.)
