I love baseball and I'm glad they've got some better rules in there now. But I say there still wouldn't be any if congress hadn't threatened action because in the eyes of the commisionerr it was "good for the game".

As I said in my first post, it's not just MLB and Selig, it's also the players union and Donald Fehr which resisted any attempt at valid drug testing.
In other words, it's all of baseball, top to bottom . . . . . and most fans at the time (not me though), most media, etc.
Pretty much everyone, top to bottom, ignored the obvious and egged on the race . . . . . .
