Rick Telander Hall of Fame
In January 2008, Rick caused controversy by refusing to submit a 2008 baseball Hall of Fame ballot, citing frustration with steroid issues troubling baseball.
He mentioned in his January 9. 2008 Chicago Sun-Times column how he could not trust, and therefore could not vote, for anyone on the ballot.
Telander used Andre Dawson as an example of someone he does not believe ever used steroids, but could not be certain about. Of note is the fact that Telander voted for two known steroid users, José Canseco and Ken Caminiti, in the previous year’s Hall of Fame ballot.
Rick eventually called Dawson personally, read his column to the former star, and the issue was laid to rest. Telander wrote an article that Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens should not get in the Hall of Fame because of their use of steroids and that they lack integrity.
