He's admitted under oath to using steroids and "Game of Shadows" is based largely on gov't documentation of him obtaining steroids. Hell you think he was using them for after he got them? Fertilizer?

What it does is lessen it's significance among future generations of baseball fans. As much as you or I may try to not only remember Hank's legacy, but also preach it to others, all that most of them will see is the record books and that's what they're going to base their argument on. If somebody ever surpasses Hank w/o steroids, I got no problem with it. But he doesn't deserve to lose his record (going through what he went through) to Barry Bonds, especially after what he had to endure to get there.
