Hall-of-Famer Joe Morgan sent a letter to every Hall of Fame voter on Tuesday, imploring them to not vote for steroid users.

Among those eligible for the Hall of Fame again in 2018 are Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens.

In his letter, Morgan argues that any player who failed a test for steroids, admitted using, or were identified as users in the Mitchell Report, should not be in the Hall of Fame. However, Morgan then wrote this:

"But it still occurs to me that anyone who took body-altering chemicals in a deliberate effort to cheat the game we love, not to mention they cheated current and former players, and fans too, doesn't belong in the Hall of Fame.
