I find it rather amusing anyone thought otherwise.

Whats it going to take before the remaining baseball fans admit that Bud Selig and the owners led what once was the ‘national pasttime’ into a hell hole, at the bottom of which you find Ric Natureboy Flair and the WWF?

Give A Roid a feather boa, and be done with it.

Just my opinion, but it’s one boring long game that needs some rule changes to speed it up.

“Give A Roid a feather boa, and be done with it.”

He’s got Madonna and Kabballah to comfort him.

Can't wait to see that jerk Roger Clemens go down in flames as well.

Can you get probation for lying to a Senate Committee under oath?

Based on current appointees I would have to say no.

Nope, but thats not the worst of it.

This has been going on in baseball since the 1970’s. See the Pete Rose ‘gambling’ related trials. EVerybody around Rose was selling BALCO steriods illegally.

Which explains George Foster btw.

The question is ... which “top” players were NOT using these drugs during this timeframe. I believe that these years should be simply removed from the history books, and all admitted users should be barred from the Hall of Fame unless they can prove that they had enough high-performance clean years to warrant their induction without considering the dirty years.

He and I almost had a fist fight while in line for airline tickets on Thanksgivng morning, 1979, in Norfolk Virginia’s International Airport....(chuckle)

He had a black eye from his ‘match’ the night before...guess the choreographing wasn’t as good as it is today.

Imagine timing it like football? LOL

I think they should be required to TACKLE the runner before he gets to a base, in order to get him ‘out’.

What a shame for the game of baseball.

I grew up listening to the Twinkies on the radio and watching games on TV as a kid. back in the days of sluggers and hitters like allison, killebrew, carew to name a few .. I don’t think they used anything more than cigarettes and beer, but I could be wrong.
