I heard a comedian once say that we should just have a sport or olympics where the players could be on anything they wanted. Who really cares anyway. This country is so far beyond "Just Say No to Drugs" it's pathetic.

Noooo....Bonds was on steroids??

Being a baseball fan and card collector all my life, I lost interest in baseball just after the early 1990's strike. The "home runs at any cost" mentality of MLB is just sickening. There are still great HOF players in the 1990's that did not use steroids, but I'm afraid everyone's records will be tarnished now because of the rampant steroid use among the Sosa/Bonds/McGuire/Giambi sluggers.

I was hoping this scandal would cause Bonds not to break Hank Aaron's record, but MLB will stop at nothing for ratings, and will allow Bonds to continue. And they thought Pete Rose was corrupt?

And it's not just the steroids that will tarnish the records. These new ballparks are much shorter than they used to be so it's easier to hit homeruns even if you're not on the juice.

Like in the Car hobby,that has misrepresented clones,& other decieving trickery if not policed openly & properly..
The sports collectibles crowd pays BIG dollars for the authentic Memorabilia.Look at the prices some paid for those Bonds/McGuire/Sosa Homerun balls in the past.A few ended up in the courts fighting over true ownership.Hundreds of thousands of dollars paid,if not Millions for that REAL Merchandise.
I'll bet a few of those collectors are thinking of having a Fire sale now.

I grew up watching Hank Aaron and Willie Mays chase Ruth's record in the early 1970's. Aaron was simply the best, and he still doesn't get the credit he deserves. No steroids, average size, and yet he consistently hit 40+ homers per year batting against the likes of Bob Gibson, Steve Carlton, and other HOF pitchers. And the baseball back then was like hitting a bean bag compared to the juiced ball MLB uses today.

With the rampant steroid use today, players have lost their muscle flexibility. That's ok with MLB, they want to see 500 ft. homers, not base stealing. We'll never see the likes of a Rickey Henderson or Lou Brock again.

With the phenomenal bat speeds generated by steroid pumped players, you have to credit Curt Schilling, Roger Clemens, and Randy Johnson for being three of the best pitchers ever, and for doing it in this era.

When I saw Gary Sheffield and Sammy Sosa go from skinny, fast base stealers in the early 1990's to looking like Pro Wrestler Steve Austin, ya have to realize somethin' ain't right....
