Pete Rose
Pete Rose was on Bill Marh last night, he was pretty funny over all and he made some good points on steroids and other drugs and mentioned how "he was the clean one but banned for life."
I actually wanted to ask this before I saw Pete, so I will ask it now.
Steroids and or Drugs in Sports: where do we draw the line?
Barry Bonds, arguably one of the top 5 baseball players of all time is now be accused of juicing and there is a movement that wants to erase all his records and kick him out of the game completely.
Bill March asked, what about other players on coke and pot, should they also have their records erased and kicked from the game? LT was high on coke for the Super Bowl, should the Giants have their title taken away?
I personally do not care about steroids, there has been “cheating” in sports since the dawn of time from corked bats, to stickem to flopping. And as for betting on baseball as is Pete’s case, big fucking deal, he never bet against his team and that is the only thing that would have changed the game. Pete is also one of the Top 5 players in baseball history, but banned for life over IMHO nothing that hurt anyone or caused a different outcome in any game and did nothing other then gave baseball a black-eyed that it has always had.
Pete mention how the 1994 strike helped create this monster problem of steroids when MLB was trying to get fans to come back, and they came back to see the long ball, so baseball is where it is now due to steroids and now that everyone knows it, they want to black list the very people who saved baseball for doing the very thing that saved it.
