Random-ski
Sick of the drug stories? Not when it’s Palmeiro or McGwire or Bonds. It gets old when it’s a guy so random his name is Randomski.
Look, we all know that roids and greenies have been used and abused by ballplayers for a long time. I don’t need to see Keith Miller’s needle schedule from the early fall of 1991 to prove that baseball players used steriods.
Plus, in defense of the fans, steroid use in baseball has a much smaller impact on the outcome of the contest than in swimming, sprinting, cycling, football, competitive weightlifting, etc. I’m not giving away ‘get out of jail free’ cards to all baseball juiceheads, it’s just that I’m a little tired of being appalled.
Baseball is a great game with great personalities and a great history. Let’s not dedicate most of the ink to beating guys up for going with the flow fifteen years ago. Maybe Big Mac had the right idea, “let’s focus on the future and wiping out steriod use in baseball, as opposed to talking about the past.” (or something to that affect)
People shouldn’t hit their dog for taking a leak on the carpet a decade ago.
