In court of public opinion, Clemens still doesn't stand a chance.

Bonds will get in before Clemens so this could take a long while. I doubt banishment forever as I think even the likes of Pete Rose will get in eventually, but writers are going to make em suffer a bit.

Any ignoramus who doesn't vote for him should immediately have their vote taken away.
 
Regardless of the HOF, I don't understand how he could have been found not guilty of anything. He has clearly lied about taking performance enhancing drugs. I did not follow the trial closely but what sort of evidence is needed to prove someone has lied?

I didn't really pay attention but the one, I forget who - maybe Pettitte, the questions that were asked to him basically had him saying he could be wrong.

Perjury is a serious offense but hard as hell to prove.
