to the OP who said that Baseball is not a sport is obviously mad at the situation. Baseball is a fantastic sport with great history who is just going through a tough era. We don't know who is on Steroids anymore we just assume that everybody was taking them because that's what everybody was doing. Regardless, anybody that says that there done watching baseball and not going to go any games is just lying and being a complete idiot. Baseball is still getting great TV numbers so I guess the Steroid effect isn't hurting the game in that sense.
However it does tarnish the players that have used Steroids and now most likely will never be looked at the same again. The Hall of Fame will not take most of these players and its a shame because they were some of the best players in the history of the game and will now go down as players who took part in the Steroid era and all there great numbers will always have an asterisk next to it.
I will still watch baseball and cheer my team on regardless, but i do agree that its a dark era in baseball when all of your top players have either admitted or been caught using PED's.
