able to autheticate it. It's not a big deal one way or the other.

I'm also not sure why they're so crazy about ARod's 600th. How many of them are tainted? How many "real" homers does he have? - Jim Aug 4, 09:11 13
- None of them are tainted anymore than Hank Aaron's HRs were tainted by greenies, or Ruth's HRs were tainted by segregation. - zombie musubi Aug 4, 09:14 11
  - Then why are the steroid guys considered cheaters? -- nm - Jim Aug 4, 09:16 10
    - I don't like them, but I don't consider them cheaters. The HRs are on the books, they're legit. (nm) - zombie musubi Aug 4, 09:20 3
      - like it or not, baseball did not test, so players took advantage.... - groiny Aug 4, 09:22 2
        
        That one is a much uglier can of worms. (nm) - zombie musubi Aug 4, 09:28 1
        
        besides that he got busted, he also quit on his team. - groiny Aug 4, 09:29
    - who considers them cheaters? - groiny Aug 4, 09:18 5
      - HOF voters, for one. Many current and retired players. Writers, reporters. Seriously? McGwire and bonds are thought to be the biggest cheaters in - Jim Aug 4, 09:19 4
        
        HOF voters also voted Jim Rice in before Bert Blylevin. They get lots of stuff wrong. (nm) - zombie musubi Aug 4, 09:21
        
        HOF voters are retards. - groiny Aug 4, 09:21 2
        
        No they didn't...so I guess it's cool then. Carry on. -- nm - Jim Aug 4, 09:22 1
        
        You can not segregate them for cheating when they never tested - groiny Aug 4, 09:24
- throw them in their own special wing in the HOF for the "steroid era" - groiny Aug 4, 09:13
