Not sure how he skated, but the guy picked up 3 mph on his fastball, and 4 inches of break on his slider after he turned 32.
And, the famous bloody sock? A 2 stitch wound that was still bleeding 3 days later?
I'm going with steroid use.
So, he's a tool, a whiny baby, and a drug cheater.
He doesn't deserve to be in the hall if the other steroid guys don't. Just because his obnoxiousness distracted the baseball world from steroid use, doesn't mean he didn't cheat.
He's just such a titanic jerk, they had plenty else to criticize.

Thanks Curt for 2004, though! I never bought the bloody ankle WS drama, though.
