How do you know Schmidt wasn't "on the juice"? I saw him up close a few times.. he was pretty "bulky". Roids have been around a very long time....

that's the problem. The MLB has been so WRONG in the testing policy for steroids, i.e. they didnt have one, that pretty much anyone that DIDN'T piss hot in this new policy (which still looks like swiss cheese to me) is more or less in the clear.

Now we can look at the character of each and every player and make a guess, but that is all it is. That said, I don't think Schmidt did any steroids.

I agree. The biggest problem with all this is.. now, you can't be 'sure' of anyone.

Mike Schmidt was one of the classiest guys in the game. But, who knows? (I saw him end a 20 inning game in Houston with the longest home run I ever saw... 420+ feet in the Dome).

This thought crossed my mind last year when everyone was making such a big deal about Bonds maybe breaking Aaron's HR record. Heck, how do we know Hammerin Hank didn't extend his career a few years with some chemical help?

The entire game is tainted. And, I'm afraid my beloved football is next. :-(
