I didn't know about McGuire until a little later. Now it's clear tha they both were and in fact any of today's players who miraclously get better 10 years into their careers are suspect. How you can be a singles hitter in your twenties and then a power hitter in your middle 30s. Yeah right.

This has gotten progressively harder over the years." I understand and you validate my point, ie., It's the history and the stats that keep us watching. Seeing someone surpass or witnessing a new milestone in sport is a HUGE part of the engine that drives the fans to the parks and TV sets...The Mcguire/Sosa chase of Maris' hallowed 61* in '98 was surreal and much like a dream. Even if you weren't a fan you couldn't help but be mesmerized by the drama. Unfortunately, much like a great dream...You wake up and are pissed that it wasn't real..... “I’ve always enjoyed professional sports despite the athletes.

This has gotten progressively harder over the years. There was a day when if a player stood in front of Congress and wagged his finger making a bold statement under oath that turned out to be a complete lie, that this ball player would be forever shammed, booed, etc. Nowadays, it will likely blow over. What a crock. And I thought things were bad when $1 million salaried players called their contracts "modern day slavery." Heck, those were the golden years compared to today's professional clowns.

As "I.S." said,"No sport is more driven by statistics and record breaking"...Simply put: The true baseball fan (of which I'm one), regards these numbers as "hallowed", if you will.....61 and 714 or 755 are the real deal....the other fuckers cheated and if you use their bank accounts as a barometer, then you can quit teachin' yer kids that "cheaters never win"....When it's all said and done in THIS world..."It IS about the dollah." …The real point is that IF you ARE a true baseball fan and the records, or Hall of Fame entry iz allowed for steroid offenders, there’s no question that the “sanctity” of the game is forever tarnished.

Not to me. Everything about baseball is boring, including its scandals. Wake me up when Palmeiro brandishes a handgun or rapes a chambermaid. Also, high school players don't need steriods; they've already bastardized the game with high-energy aluminum bats. The whole sport blows. I'd rather have my kid play tuba in the band then go out for baseball. p.s. Just saw Palmeiro's picture. He's gay, right? Any chance he got the stanolozol in his system when he went down on Ben Johnson? I think if he swallowed we have reasonable doubt, or as Johnny Cochran would say: "If he didn't spit, you must acquit". “…a pretty compelling story.” Not to me.
