well, you do make a good point, although I do not believe their use in baseball was a s widespread as you imply. Sosa, Bonds, McGuire, Palmiero: sorry, but I do not believe their HRs should be seen in the same light as Mantle, Mays, Ruth, Foxx, Williams, Robinson, Musial, etc, etc.
By the fans, they probably won't be. It's just that MLB can't officially do anything about it - they made the rules.
