Is Bud Selig going to far with the *?
The question has risen if Bud Selig is going to far by not allowing the records that Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds, and Roger Clemons stand without an * beside them. In the beginning with all this crap came out about players juicing, I could agree to that. However, over the last year, my opinion has been changing. Are they guilty? Sure as hell they are. But, if that is the case, then you might as well go as far back as when Babe Ruth played and write an * in there as well.
Bottom line is this; the times might have changed, but so has the game of baseball. It does not make it right to do some illegal and get away with it. It also does not make it right to do that illegal thing and take away something that they worked their entire career over. You do not ban people from the hall of fame because they used a spitter, sand paper, or pine tar to trick a batter. You do not ban people for snorting cocaine or have a drinking problem. So, why ban these 4 players for their offense? Is it any worse than the ones that I named?
