It’s a shame that the truly classy manner in which Mark McGwire handled the occasion of his "breaking" the Maris record, was marred by the fact that neither McGwire, nor Sosa, nor later Barry Bonds, deserved to have it counted as a record.
Roger Maris spent the remainder of his life tainted by a pointless asterisk. Bonds, Sosa, and McGwire are accounted heroes. It ain’t right.

Bonds, Sosa, and McGwire never broke any official MLB rule. It’s profoundly unfair to judge their records based on their breaking rules that didn’t exist when they played.

I am one of those people who believe Pete Rose should be allowed to be in the Baseball Hall Of Fame. Kind of a different subject. BUT???

Pete Rose--who admitted to breaking a rule that is explicitly stated in the MLB guidelines--SHOULD be in the Hall of Fame?

Maybe they weren’t expressly against MLB rules, but some of the substances they took were illegal under U.S. law.
And that’s just the stuff we know about.
So, really, you argument doesn’t make sense Davey. Why should MLB ball players be expected to break the laws of the country they live in so that they compete with the likes of Bonds?

Dave… I know. I am a minority BUT, I just think he belongs in the Hall Of Fame. Even if it is in the hall of SHame section??? SHhhh…
At least your a baseball purist.
