Integrity
Maybe it’s the Catholic School influence, but I often make up my mind about things as either black or white.
Not a lot of grey.
I’m an old, white guy when it comes to baseball and I spew all the integrity of the game crap that young guys hate.
I’ve reluctantly accepted the pimping of home runs, but I still don’t love it.
Steroids?
I have zero tolerance.
McGwire stole the single season home run record from Roger Maris.
I don’t acknowledge it.
Bonds broke Aaron’s all-time home run record.
I don’t acknowledge his career at all.
They cheated.
Pete Rose gambled for and against the team he was managing.
Zero sympathy.
I was happy that the writers were keeping the steroid cheats out of the hall.
And then yesterday they let Ortiz waltz through the door!
First ballot!!?
He failed a steroid test.
Cheated.
As much as Bonds and A-Rod and Clemens and Sosa and McGwire.
What a joke.
The nuns who spoke about integrity would be against it.
I am too.
