Joe Morgan Advises BBWAA Voters Not to Elect Steroid Users into Hall of Fame

Joe Morgan, vice chairman of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, has sent a letter to members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America, urging voters not to support steroid users.

In the letter, courtesy of Eric Fisher of the Sports Business Journal, Morgan told members of the BBWAA that "steroid users don't belong" in the Hall of Fame and "they shouldn't be accepted" for taking an illegal substance:

Morgan did acknowledge "the tricky issue" of players who were named in the Mitchell Report as being connected to steroids who have denied any wrongdoing, saying he has faith in the judgement of voters and who they vote for is their decision.
