Unfortunately for the former Detroit Tigers catcher, his potential spot in the Hall of Fame has become controversial.
The controversy is being discussed on USA Today as part of their series on the current ballot for 2017 Hall of Fame.
According to an article by USA Today from December 26, 2017, it should actually be easy for Pudge Rodriguez to be voted into the Hall. But, there is one little thing standing in his way: a book written by his former teammate Jose Canseco. In Juiced, Canseco accused Rodriguez of using steroids.
