When people complained to me about Barry Bonds and steroids my response always went like the following — “Who’s to say that he had some unfair advantage? For example, how many times did he go to bat against a pitcher on steroids or an outfielder on steroids”. Not excusing steroid abuse but, it didn’t begin or end with Barry Bonds.
Well, it looks like I have some vindication today. The dreaded Mitchell Report (pdf) was released today and it named some 80 players accused of juicing.
Among them are pitching hero Roger “the Rocket” Clemens, Albert Pujols, Andy Pettitte and many others.
So, while many vilified Bonds and said his home run record should have an asterisk by it, I wonder if these same folks we be as loud about the records that may be held by some of these offenders.
