I was thinking earlier today that Nixon is possibly the most underrated Prez in history. He would be far left by today's standards. Dozens of accomplishments that stand the test of time. Genius, visionary. In today's politics, watergate is the equivalent of a fly on your ass. My how times have changed.

He's another fascinating character in our nation's past, as I observed Grant to be in another thread. Such a dichotomy between brilliance and paranoia.
I'm not saying Nixon was great, but Sosa and McGwire do belong in Cooperstown.Those were the days....Nixon, Hoover,& BeBe
Not to be contrary, but if Nixon is a great president then Sosa and McGwire belong in Cooperstown.
Oh, I know it will never happen. But it should. Rose should be there, too. Hell, if it were up to me, Shoeless Joe would be in.
Bonds, Clemens? Not a traditionalist eh. I don't think they should be in or they should all be in, one extreme or the other. Either way makes sense to me, but I don't like to see cheaters prosper.
Apologies to Toasted for the digression.
All of 'em. If their performance was worthy, put 'em in, I say.
Definitely not a traditionalist on this point, I recognize that.
Sosa has a place in Cooperstown. He's prominently mentioned in the section about the steroid era.
