APNewsBreak: McGwire admits using steroids | Comcast.net

i was hoping that the "everything i used at the time was legal" would hold true. i kind of figured that it wouldnt but **** this is still heartbreaking. I mean even if the steroids werent on the list of illegal drugs it doesnt make it any better, but ahh....... yeah this is just sad. i hate what baseball and all professional sports have become

If they don't that just racist!

No, if they dont, its obvious that Bonds is held to a higher standard because people hate him.

Barry Bonds is a better player than McGuire, Sosa, etc.. by miles

As it stands now, the best baseball player of that generation is Ken Griffey Jr IMO. Always like him, and he is one of the few unscathed by the steroid rumors.

Wish he hadn't got hurt. God I really wish he hadn't kept getting hurt.

EDIT

Bonds was better before the steroids. His name is tainted now though...

Griffey Jr. is a true baseball hero. He didn't need help for roids getting were he got and he is a real role model for young baseball players.
