How will MLB handle this era in the future? What will it do to Hall of Fame eligibility?

I believe MLB should list any and all who tested positive and accept it as part of the game's history, just as they did with the Chicago Black Sox. It happened. Recognize it, and move on. A separate wing in Cooperstown for any who tested positive if necessary.

On another note, the Commish should definitely reconsider on Pete Rose's eligibility, especially in light of the steroid era. Put the betting aside for a minute and just look at the numbers and all time ranking in hits, etc. And he didn't juice....

Ron....I could have cared less the last time they won!! I can't bring myself to be interested anymore! I used to enjoy the game for what was "between the lines".......now it involves too much of what goes on outside the lines in their personal lives and what goes on "between the lines" is now a drug enhanced charade!!! Done! See if you see me cheering come Playoff time!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

So.....how come Papi and Manny weren't leading the team in steals??? Didn't seem to help their speed....
For the record, I am not surprised, and suspected it for a long time. Especially Ortiz. I mean, if you look at his numbers in Minnesota, and then a year later he's tearing the cover off the ball....
