Well, I can only hope the writers and the vets remember those people who were squeezed out of the game because they didn't want to inject a bunch of body-altering chemicals. The consequences of doing so are pretty horrible both individually and systemically. Which is why they were controlled substances outside of anything one likes to fantasize Bud Selig did or didn't give a shit about.People's minds are mostly made up. Personally, I don't care at all if a player juiced. It's just how the game was played. An era of ridiculously bloated freaks hitting dingers and throwing hard fastballs into their 40s. Everyone, EVERYONE, knew players were on something at the time and it was totally fucking awesome baseball to watch. I would vote them all in. I was entertained.
And that's why cheating matters, and why you shouldn't enshrine someone who rode a needle into the record books. No matter how entertained one was. The more you normalize that shit, the more prevalent it becomes, and you force high school kids into the choice between doping and risking brain cancer, or forgoing a scholarship.
