The problem is that these sportwriters can't keep things consistent. I want to know how didn't vote for Pedro, Griffey, Randy Johson etc....
On topic, steroids and HGH were a period in baseball's history. I remember ESPN cutting out of their regular programming to watch Sosa and McGwire's at bats. MLB is no better with how they juice or de-juice, for lack of a better word, the baseballs. If you want to put an asterisk, that's fine, just don't dismiss it like it didn't happen.
This is kind of where I've landed. If all these dudes were on the sauce, hitting monster bombs and, like Bonds, crushing everything on the inner half of the plate- then you better be throwing some good stuff. If one roided guy is pummeling other roided dudes...isn't the playing field leveled?
