2008-04-25 15:00:00	Have you thought about writing a piece about cheating and the HOF? Given the reluctance of sportswriters to vote in guys who used steroids, have there been similar cases of cheating like that have happened before? Like maybe Gaylord Perry? (Rich from Columbus, OH)	Rich, I wrote about steroids and the Hall of Fame vote a few months ago. That was about as much fun as a rock fight, and I'm in no hurry to do it again, but since it's the beat I cover, I'm sure you haven't heard the last of me on this issue. All three of your questions in the queue along these lines are good ones, by the way. Just not enough time to rev up into gear on that topic here. (Jay Jaffe)
2008-02-04 13:00:00	Is anyone going to sign Julio Franco? He turns 50 in August, and his goal was to play until then. (Rich from Columbus,OH)	My guess is that someone will give him that chance. Minnie Minoso was certainly a better player than Franco -- he had a lifetime 130 OPS+ -- but Franco was better after the age of 40. While Minoso’s cameos came at ages 50 and 54, his “real” career ended at age 38. Minoso trivia: His one base hit at age 50 or over came off Sid Monge. Franco trivia: He has reached base all 4 times he has faced John Franco. Franco trivia part 2: He went 1-for-7 in his career against Gaylord Perry, who is now 69 years old. (David Laurila)
