Roger Clemens: A Case for His Hall of Fame Bid

In the world of baseball, there is no clear-cut way to handle players who have been accused of, but not proven guilty of using performance enhancing drugs. In 2013, the Baseball Hall of Fame will host quite the sampling of players from the steroid era whose names have been muddied with steroid accusations, and in some cases, confessions.

Rafael Palmeiro, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire (assuming he is not voted in in 2012), Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens will all be on the same ballot. This makes up a 1990's baseball fantasy team, yet none of these players may ever see their names enshrined in Cooperstown.

But what if there was a way?

What if Major League Baseball found a way to allow for these players to be eligible based solely on the years in which they played "clean" and had the rest of their accomplishments wiped from the record books. In that fantasy land, a case could still be made for Clemens.
