This story males me sick for more reasons than one. You watch a kid grow up, never thinking he would break just about every professional baseball record ever achieved. You follow his career booing every pitch that misses his bat. And then you hear the scandal, alright that's one thing, and it's not good but just when you think it is all over, boom then ...[text shortened]... al. But sadly it looks like he may have been more than a fraud. I really hate it. 😞:'(
You can bet his size 14 cranium that he was pounding roids. You can also bet he knew exactly what he was doing. I just hope that whether he plea bargains or does jail time, that he suffers the same fate as Pete Rose until Rose is accepted into the HOF.
The HOF does have precedent for accepting some known cheaters into the HOF, but they have been selective. Rose got screwed. We will see if Bonds gets screwed as well, although I am waiting for the racial prejudice card to be played, and it will get played, bet on it.
The worst thing about this whole mess is it will forever taint Bonds, McGwire, Palmiero, Sosa, and possibly Bagwell. I believe there are others who may have been involved as well.
