I'm sure everyone (including myself) is sick and tired about hearing of all the steroid scandals in baseball. I'm a huge baseball fan, but enough is enough.
There's a lot of talk about Major League Baseball releasing the list of all 103 players who failed Performance Enhancing Drug (PEDs) tests in 2003...
That was 6 (SIX) years ago.
What good will be accomplished by publishing a list that large from so long ago? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. All that will come of it is crushing the idols of kids everywhere, and ruining reputations of guys who have turned their lives around. There has been so many names linked to steroids in baseball, that it really doesn't matter anymore. Steroids are bad, we get it. MLB needs to stop worrying about the past, and start thinking about whats going on RIGHT NOW, and how to prevent things in the future. You're supposed to learn from the past, not scorn those who made mistakes. The Statute of Limitations should apply to all this somewhere.
So, Mr. Selig and Mr. Mitchell need to get together and come up with PREVENTION methods. Digging more and more into the past (into a list composed mostly of guys who are already retired, at that) will do no good for anyone. What are you going to do? Suspend Sammy Sosa and Rafael Palmeiro? Strike the records from the books of everyone who was ever in the same room as an illegal substance? Ban them all from baseball?
If baseball goes through with this... There will be no one left.
Just leave it alone, and concentrate on the present, and future.
