Cooperstown, NY - In a stunning turn of events today, performance enhancing drugs were voted "yes" to be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. They will be included in the induction ceremony that takes place on July 25 at the museum in Cooperstown, NY. The decision was made by National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum director Jeff Idelson late last week to hold the vote. "I figured, with how much influence these PED's have had on the sport for the last 20 years, why try fighting it anymore. I mean shit, all the records have been tainted." said Idelson.
Idelson also added, "I decided to have this vote since the only player that was officially elected was Andre Dawson. He wasn't even that great, but we really can't elect anyone from the steroid era in at this point. This will be a pretty shitty induction ceremony if all we elect is a guy that was more know for his womanizing than his play on the field. He is however a first ballot elect in the sleezy Hall of Fame."
The panel has decided they will include anabolic steroids, androstenedione and HGH (human growth hormone) as the 3 recipients. PED's received 405 of the 539 votes yes. Had they received 1 less vote, they would not have made it. (you need to receive a 75% yes vote) It is considered the most controversial vote in the 70+ year history of the museum.
Accepting on behalf of PED's will be Rafael Palmiero and Mark McGwire. "I am just happy to have a chance to stand up there next month." said Palmiero. "Oh yeah" said McGwire, "there is no way in hell we are getting elected on our own." Jose Canseco could not be reached for comment.
