While I don't want my son to use PED's, or anyone elses children for that matter, I don't feel that players who have tested positive for PED's should be thrown under the bus.(unless they have tested positive since the new testing program was put in place) McGwire and Sosa saved the game of baseball in 1998! McGwire played his entire career during a time when there was no testing, no banned or illegal performance enhancers, and apparently, EVERYONE was either using, assisting someone who was using, or at least aware of who was using. You are absolutely right... McGwire is guilty of nothing more than being smarter than all of the other guys who have testified in front of Congress! <BR/>As for Pete Rose, there is nobody who has ever played the game of baseball, past or present, who deserves to be in the Hall of Fame (HOF) more than he does. I don't like Pete Rose! I never have! I think he is an arogant, cocky, loud mouthed prick... but he IS a HOF'er!!! The greatest hitter to play the game, regardless of what he did off the field, he deserves to be inducted. I have never liked the man, but I have ALWAYS respected his talent. <BR/>Finally, Michael Phelps and pot... all I can say is... at least you were able to get the pizza ordered and delivered to the correct address! Big props to you!!! You were WAY ahead of me!!! I can't tell you how many times I ended up eating plain hot dog buns dipped in whatever I could find in the refrigerator. (Ever eaten bread dipped in spoiled cottage cheese?) I have!The Ghost of Jack Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17432799785466176987noreply@blogger.com
