First all who really cares? It's a sport. There are more important things that could be covered in the news, like Spitzer's weird sex habits or maybe a war that's been going on for over 5 years.
Second, there is a huge discrepancy on how we view drugs in this country. People are so angry at these baseball stars because they feel they cheated by using substances to enhance their performance. Really? Cuz the last time I check Viagra has TV commercials, and that drunk enhances your performance (you might not even have a performance without it).
Third, if you want to start taking people out the Halls of Fame for drug use that enhanced their performances then start with Pink Floyd. If it was not for drugs they’d be a Beatles cover band, because we all know the Beatles believed in drugs.
Lastly, I think baseball stars (and sports stars in general) should be required to take drugs. I don't want to pay $50 for tickets, then another $50 for beer and hotdogs only to see some dude ground out to first. I want to see him do things I can't. I can strike out, what I can't do it hit a homerun. I want to see a dude hit the ball so hard that it creates a sonic boom and kills all the birds near the stadium, then the ball keeps going and hits the Goodyear blip and it explodes, and rains fire down on the bleachers. That's worth the cost of admission, a strike out is not.
I would support a baseball player getting a metal arm and a Terminator eye. I'd pay money to see that freak show. If a dude rolled onto the field with the torso of a man and the lower half of a tank, I'd wait over night for tickets. If Randy Johnson AKA The Big Unit cut his arm off and replaced it with an actual canon, not only would I watch ever game I'd watch the surgery. I think what baseball is missing is Cyborgs.
