Honestly, I don't care about steroids in baseball or any other sport. I want to see a level playing field and all, but if every player or most players are on a PED, then it creates a sort of level playing field. The players know that they can get away with certain shenanigans and it may only be lightly enforced.
From what I gather, the thing that bothers most people is that modern PED-enhanced players have an unfair advantage in the record books with the non-PED-enhanced-retired players. The old players also worked in a completely different environment. Babe Ruth was not required to compete against African-American baseball players, for instance. The bottom line, for me, is how does this effect the entertainment of the game that I am watching? Would it really make a difference if a player for my favorite team was on PEDs? Would I like my any team less?
