As a baseball fan, I thought McGwire and Sosa's home run chase in '98 was a joke. It was ludicrous, and the owners of MLB franchises knew what was going on, but no one said anything publicly. All the pigs fed at the trough. Now that the game has recovered the owners have "found religion" as the saying goes, and they and commish are sanctimonious about steroids. Where were they when the McGwire/Sosa race was wining back the fans alienated by the strike? Where were they when Ken Caminiti, since dead, was heavily on the juice and winning the league MVP? I used to go to games at the Coliseum where the Oakland fans laughed and chanted "ster-oids, ster-oids, ster-oids" at Jose Canseco. That was the early 1990s. About 15 years ago. Where was the lynch mob mentality then? Where did you get “everyone does it” as an excuse?

Barry Bonds may be no worse than some, but by seeking and achieving marks that have the potential to make him a hero, he must be noted as a cheater. Unless, of course, he has been falsely accused.
