When are they going to exhume Babe Ruth's remains and test him for roids?

The only thing Babe Ruth was doing was booze and grease.

It's amazing to me that all those old timey players who were big time boozers like Ruth and Mantle were some of the best damn players ever. It was just pure, natural talent without the juice. Imagine if any of the players in this era had the natural talents of guys like them. Gehrig was probably the only one back then who wasn't a drunk, which probably explains why he was able to play every day.

I will give him credit for that. Still, the man collected $75 million of tainted money. Can I have that for doing my job without performance enhancers?

I don't believe that he only used for 3 years... logic says that the "pressure to perform" would have been a lot greater in NYC and with all the others up there using Perf. Enhancers...it just seems way too likely.

I don't think A-Rod is really telling the whole truth.

And it would have been a whole lot more credible if he'd admitted this before a "story broke" in Sports Illustrated.

I'm sick of Baseball's 'Roid Era.

So... who else is using AND in which sports? How many NHLers are Juicing? Any of the Blues?

Pro sports is all about the "Business side of the Sport" whatever the heck that means!

Yea that is a change from everyone else. Whether or not it was the whole truth though is yet to be seen.

I find it hard to believe that he didn't know what he was taking though.... :?

It's not about steroids. It's about the Worst Generation taking on another sacred cow and erasing the infidels from the record books in order to protect Their heroes. Go read Ball Four. I'm supposed to believe that all of those guys playing for "the love of the game" were grabbing hands full of Skittles out of those jars? Yeah right.

It has nothing to do with the purity of the game. It has to do with some loser fifty-year-old making sure that it's nothing but Willie, Mickey, and the Duke around when they're dead.
