The baseball hall of fame should build a steroid wing for the likes of Bonds, Sosa, A-rod etc. They should make Jose Canseco curator for life. The purists could visit the regular hall of fame while the fans who don't mind a little cheating could go into the steroid wing. Really, cheating is as American as apple pie. Just ask Wall Street or your local politicians. Who cares if A-rod took steroids, human growth hormone or doggy downers?

it never ceases to amaze me how pathetic middle-aged men still think anyone cares about baseball. Most people who go to games go out of some misguided notion that this is an "American" way to spend time, not because they like the game. It's more about the beer and peanuts than it is about the game, so why do you keep writing about this stuff - PLEASE, WE ARE SO VERY BORED WITH THIS SPORT. It's NBA All-Star week and you focus yesterdays pastime - GET A LIFE

What is it with sports writers and their absolute disgust for Canseco? Is it the fact that he is doing what you guys should have been doing decades ago? A little pissed off that he has shown your beloved professional sports to be the absolute cesspool of society that it really is? A bit perturbed that he has made you all look like fools that suck knelt down to the almighty dollar? Sports writers are hacks that couldn't write real articles about real problems. Too bad it took an actual player to write a factual story that actually matters.

Bonds was unlucky, A-Rod got screwed, but Phelphs taking a bong hit was unforgivable? Please. There's cheating, and there's Babe Ruth. Hypocrite.

Right on. A Rod deserves to get reamed, but so do the other 103 guys [at this point anyway]. What's mind boggling is Donald Fehr and Bud Selig are getting a free pass too. They could have nipped this problem in the bud 20 years ago and didn't. Bankers are getting fired for bad management and destroying the financial system. The parallel is obvious.
