I have yet to talk to a true fan of the game that says he deserves it. The casual fan or sometimes fan may say that, but anyone who has any respect for the game does not.
And I wonder just how many previous baseball fans are no longer fans precisely because of this disgusting kind of crap. ...like me, for example.
Maybe those who remain fans have a stronger stomach for steroids, cheating and multi-millionaires going on strike for more money.
Personally, I've had my fill. Hence, I'm no longer a professional baseball fan. I watched my last professional baseball game about five years ago.
