Thursday, March 31, 2005 The Black Table Gets It Right
On steroids in baseball, Will Leitch writes in Thursday's BlackTable: In 20 years, this era will not be looked at with the scorn of "the Steroid Era." It will be looked at with amusement, back when "performance enhancers" were so crude, detectable and bad for you. Whether or not it's "good" that it's a natural evolution of the game is behind the point: It simply is. Mark McGwire should be in the Hall of Fame, and so should Barry Bonds (obviously). The recent hullabaloo is simply because a bunch of middle-aged sportswriters are cranky because "baseball isn't like it was when I was a kid." Yeah. And there are Wal-Marts everywhere now, too. Deal with it.Read their entire "42nd Annual Big Black Table Baseball Preview". As a big fan of Leitch's writing, I recommend checking out his Life As A Loser columns, and then go buy the book. Class dismissed.
