I am now very reluctantly beginning to think there should be brackets or a footnote in the record books around the entire steroids era and the accomplishments during that time.

Let's not be so short sighted. Do you REALLY think Brady Anderson hits, what? 50 HR's without "substances" What about Sosa, McWyre, Palmero?

I will never turn my back on baseball. To me, its the metronome of America...but rather than focusing on Bonds and allowing people to see all of baseball only through an image of his misdeeds, we should remember there are how many? 32 teams with 40 man rosters and minor league teams aplenty and the cheaters are a small, a significant, but small percentage. EVEN at this point if Barry would come clean and admit he had full knowledge, retire and admit his substance use impacted his records, in my view he could be left unprosecuted or wrist slapped. But with the arrogant defiance and counter-accusations he is almost certainlky going to display, I think the Feds should fully prosecute and go for the throat. I am sorry to say it of anyone, but he has earned this.
