Jeff Kent deserves credit in steroid era If Barry Bonds and Mike Piazza lost Hall of Fame votes because of evidence or suspicions they juiced when breaking records, will Jeff Kent gain votes for his contributions to the current steroid testing policy? In a clubhouse in which Greg Anderson once had free rein as a drug runner for Bonds and other Giants, Kent often stood at his locker and called for Major League Baseball and the union to iron out a legitimate steroids policy. Not only was a Kent quote referenced by George Mitchell to prove a point in the introduction of his 2007 report on steroids in baseball, but Commissioner Bud Selig used another quote from Kent in his 2005 letter to then-union chief Don Fehr, calling for a more stringent policy - including a 50-game suspension for first-time steroid offenders, 100 games for a second offense and a lifetime ban for a third strike.
