Frank Thomas: an All Star spot to recognize his steroid-free career?

No, something better:

The Baseball Writers Association of America has drawn a line in the sand and told Mark McGwire he cannot pass. Your view on their rationale may vary but the best way for reward Thomas for doing the right thing is to assure that he gets into Cooperstown on the first ballot. If players like McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro and Barry Bonds are forced to wait their turn and watch from afar while Thomas gives his speech it will mean much more than one All-Star game that, quite frankly, he doesn't deserve to be part of.
