Baseball's the only one with records and history that people care about. I'm glad the public holds it to higher standards.
Baseball records are no more sacred than any other. And the people aren’t the ones holding baseball to any standard, the people have clearly demonstrated they don’t give a crap about steroids in sports. It’s the press that keeps the roid story alive, and then Congress got bored and made things scary for the MLB. That’s why the Mitchell report happened, to make Congress go away and shut the reporters up.
The "public" will buy another 70 million tickets again next year. They care, but not that much.
