One thing that should be noted is that Mark McGwire's name has been on the ballot for the last 5 or 6 years, and he hasn't even come close to achieving the required 75% of the votes for induction. Matter of fact, the trending seems to be going down. It'll be interesting to see how that percentage changes, if at all, now that the rest of the group from the Steroid Era is on this year's ballot.

I also agree it's a humongous task, and I don't envy the voters in the least bit. Either way you vote, you're going to get criticized and second-guessed. But yeah... you gotta draw the line somewhere. I mean, some of these steroid-aided stats, especially when these people were at a mature age, are ridiculous. Look at Barry Bonds, never hitting over 50 home runs in a season before hitting 73 at the ripe old age of 37. Not to mention the fact that he probably weighs twice as much as when he began his career with the Pirates, and his head is the size of a large bowling ball.
