Steroid use shouldn't keep baseball's best sluggers and pitchers out of the Hall of Fame, the head of the players' union said Wednesday, adding the Hall ""is for the best baseball players that have ever played."

The Baseball Hall of Fame is starting a drug education program for students and young adults — in the same year Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa will appear on ballot for the first time after careers tainted by steroid accusations.

Roger Clemens' chief accuser, former Blue Jays strength coach Brian McNamee, repeated the assertion Monday that he injected the star pitcher with steroids.
