Part 6/9:
Addressing the question of why he remains outside of the Hall of Fame despite his staggering accomplishments, Sheffield remains calm and resolute. He perceives a gray area regarding performance-enhancing drugs and how it has affected perceptions of his legacy. "If your performance [is attributed] only to his Hall of Fame capabilities, then he’s in; if there’s even the slightest whiff of PEDs, he’s not," he remarked. Sheffield asserts that he never engaged in illicit activities, citing the influence of his uncle, Dwight Gooden, as a guidepost for maintaining integrity in his career choices.
