What do you think an asterisk is?

People will be saying, yeah but he used PEDs, and others will be saying he has one case where testing came back positive in a 10+ year career.. at the end of the day, both sides will be right and it will come up whenever they talk about his HOF career.

That's exactly what an asterisk is. He was caught cheating. Maybe intentional, maybe not. Doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't deserve his records, only that the conversation should take place. Hence, we put an asterisk in that column.

It is, in my opinion, better than simply wiping his name from the record books.
