Really? The biggest scandal in baseball's history was Barry fucking Bonds?
Wow, it's almost like collusion, cocaine being dealt in clubhouses, the strikes, Pete Rose and, oh, that little thing called institutionalized racism / segregation never happened.
He DID mention the black sox...
And the Pete Rose thing wasn't that big, he's just an idiot.
John Dowd had damning evidence that Rose bet against the Reds, which is why Rose voluntarily took his lifetime ban instead of the full report going public. That's probably the most terrible thing you can do in baseball. There's a reason that's the one rule that's posted in every clubhouse, it's baseball's One Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Bet On Baseball.
That's not being an idiot, that's being a complete and utter shitbag doing damage to whatever is left of the game's "integrity."
Really? Wonder why we've never seen this evidence? Seems to me like that would have made baseballs case cut and dry. Noone would be carrying signs saying "Pete should be in the Hall" had they know he bet against his team.
All he had to do was keep his mouth shut for 5 years and he was in. He couldn't do that. .... he's an idiot ...
..and racism/segregation was not unique to baseball... kind of hard to pin it all on them when they broke the barrier 1947... what, 20 years ahead of MLK's civil rights march? Seems like Baseball was leading they way.
It doesn't matter. Barry Bonds being a jackass doesn't hold a candle to it. "Leading the way" means fuck-all when Ruth never had to face some of the best pitching talent on the planet because of racism. That is the biggest problem in the history of baseball, not a guy who may or may not have taken steroids (particularly because there is no empirical proof of steroids enhancing performance).
What does BB being a jackass have to do with anything? Bash Ruth in defense of Bonds? ... really?

Why aren't you bashing Hammerin Hank?
No doubt he took them. None whatsoever. His head grew for gods sake.
Let's just say he didn't take them... why aren't all his lawyers sueing for defomation?
...and baseball is better without him.
No proof eh?
Big Mac, Bonds, Sosa all crush a 50+ year old record and thats just cause they were so damn good?
Roberts hits 50?
The list goes on and on and on...
Now we've talked about the roid/HGH thing before. I personally think it's wrong to just punish the players. The just put Tony Larussa in the HOF for gods sake and his A's were juiced to the hilt. Noone is getting puished but the players and I think that is wrong.
