Consider this: Baseball banned steroids in ‘91. The strike happened in ‘94. Baseball didn’t start player testing for peds until 2003. Why? Because they needed those stars, Caminiti, Mcgwire, sosa, Bonds, Clements, 80% of players used them then according to some reports. Baseball attendance and ratings were slumping. Amphetamine use was rampant. Read Jim Bouton’s ‘Ball Four’ some time. It goes all the way back to Babe Ruth injecting extracts from sheep testicles. Think they’d boot Ruth from the Hall? Mantle injected all kinds of shit.

The gall of MLB is amazing, and the most gall of all is from the Hall of Shame, er Fame.
