Time To Bring Out The * Again

January 12th 2010 15:34

: Time To Bring Out The * Again

As if it wasn't common knowledge to most everyone already, Mark McQwire finally came clean and admitted that he used steroids. Remember that when he and Sosa and Bonds broke the season home run records they were all on the down side of their careers. I would argue that they may not have been able to play if they hadn't cheated. Their actions may have even cost a deserving player, who didn't cheat a roster spot. If I were commissioner they would all be banned from the Hall Of Fame and have their records taken away.

My revised season home run record book:
