I've let it be known on this blog, and in drunken conversations with friends, that I'm not the most critical person in the world when it comes to steroids in baseball. I justified my position by arguing that steroids gave the MLB a better product. I take it all back. It's hard to imagine a bigger cover-up in sports....ever. Baseball, and Selig, have obviously known about the steroid abuse for the last decade, and they did nothing.When Jose Canseco has more credibility than Bud Selig, something's gone terribly wrong. Canseco, once the madcap, mean spirited asshole of sports, is now baseball's most dependable source when it comes to the steroid saga. Everyone he's accused has been found guilty. Now, seeing yet another opportunity to enter the spotlight, the broke D-Bag is claiming that he knows there is a steroid user in the Hall of Fame. One has to assume that player is Rickey Henderson--Canseco's teamate in Oakland during the '90s. What's worse? I have no doubt the sleazy tattle tail is telling the truth.
It's time to bite the bullet and release the list--or have Selig step down as commissioner. Someone's obviously leaking these names, and he/she/it should step up and release all of them. Let us, the public, move on, and save the legacies of those players who didn't take steroids. Blow the top off this thing, end the speculation, and give the public a concrete end to the steroid era.
