I'd imagine that would include guys like Sammy who we don't even have any real evidence on. So if you're an admitted user, you're sure as hell not getting their vote.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
The generation of writers who made their living covering these guys without a peep about steroids, seem to be on their high horse now. I think future generations or writers will be more accepting of the 'roid era. Bonds, Arod, Sosa will probably all get in eventually.

I agree with all you said Sipes, especially that first sentence.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
