So the 60+ HRs/Yr. club gets entered multiple times in 5 years. Only twice before in MLB history. Guess that greenie thing is only good for the long-term (career) thing.
Got a problem with Hank or Willie? Fine. Don't have a problem with them? Fine. Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire... they are a different group. They did different drugs. Public perceptions change. I choose not to compare anyone in today's game with those who have been retired for a long time. I will not defend a drug user and cheater b/c others before him may have done it. Want to defend Barry? Fine. But do not drag the names of others through Barry's mud while doing it. That is not an argument... that is an excuse.

Greenies and steroids = legal in baseball when they were used
Greenies and steroids = illegal in society when they were used
Where's the difference? Is it because one is more of a PED than the other? Greenies are PEDs, same as steroids. You're picking and choosing which drug is "bad" and which drug isn't, when they are both clearly performance enhancers. I'm sorry, but you cannot have it both ways.
