It didn't start out to be a point/counterpoint, but that's what it has become.
Ron Cook is a good friend, one of my journalistic mentors and a great colleague both here at the Post-Gazette and at 93.7 The Fan. We have spent many of days working together in various press boxes all over the country, and I have enjoyed his work pretty much since my fascination with newspapers began in my teens in the mid-1980s.
There are many things he and I agree on, but when it comes to the Baseball Hall of Fame, we couldn't be further apart. He believes nobody that ever was even rumored to take steroids should be in the Hall of Fame; I couldn't disagree more with this. And when it comes to Barry Bonds in the Pirates Hall of Fame, I think he is absolutely wrong as well.
