If Manny skates by despite the steroid issue, then Sammy goes in with flying colors.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Agreed. Sosa's numbers were ridiculous. If Manny gets in so should Sosa.

Both have Hall of Fame numbers aided by PEDs. But if you were to compare the 2 Manny has had a much better career.

No he doesn't.

Really? You honestly think Manny = Sammy? Their careers are not even close IMO.

609 HR, 1667 RBI, 1475 Runs, 2408 Hits, .273/.344/.534
536 HR, 1754 RBI, 1474 Runs, 2435 Hits, .315/.412/.595

Sosa has more PAs, so it's not apples to apples, but those careers numbers don't show anything that indicates Ramirez <b>has had a much better career</b>.
