>Schilling, McGuire, and Clemens have been banned as well.
Were they actually banned, or have they just not been voted in? And what is the reason for Schilling? He wasn't suspected of juicing was he?

Here's the issue: baseball HAS no integrity. it worships numbers while actively having maintained a segregated, talent diluted league. but let's make it contemporary. everybody saw mcgwire look like goddamn paul bunyan and pre bleached sammy who "lov this country" both blow past Maris's record in 98. McGwire had some shit in this locker, acted like it was nothing. Nobody uttered a fucking word. And McGwire wasn't known as a media darling.

Fast forward to 2003. Big Black Barry comes through and blows through that record, then its time to investigate.

The biggest farce of the steroids era is that the overwhelming majority of the spotlight was on hitters but not pitchers. there was no true interest in figuring out who all was actually juicing, just big targets. motherfuckers hated Barry Bonds because he kept the press at arm's length, but he also grew up son of a major leaguer and saw it from the inside. those pencil dicked wannabes relished the opportunity to take something from someone who could do what they never could, with or without a needle.

again, it's this faux moral high ground that i can't fuck with. folks used 98 to draw attention back to a league that was on life support following a strike that canceled a world series in 94. and fans willingly played along with the juiced ball era. to act like they were cheated and misled while their own eyes showed that these motherfuckers were looking like Avengers is disingenuous as fuck.
