I'm not much of a baseball fan, but I will be teaching my kids and grandkids (if we have them) about the Babe Ruths and Hank Aarons. It's sad that a bunch of sauced up guys get to be the heroes of our day.... As I read this post and the article underlying it, I couldn’t help but think about this from Scot McKnight.

I chuckled to myself and thought back on a documentary i saw last year that ken burns produced called "Baseball". If you're a baseball fan than it is a must see as it gives the entire history of baseball and spans over 150 years of man, ball, stick and glove. I only watched about 4 "innings" (the discs are numbered by innings). But what i gathered from those early years of baseball is that it was basically a game made up vagrants, alcoholics, and gamblers. So its funny to hear the incredulity injected into this new baseball scandal when baseballs roots are steeped in shadiness and cheating. Obviously 150 years hasnt changed baseball all that much. as i sat on the plane from seattle to denver i saw this “mitchell report” business flashing across the screen as if we should be surprised that MLB players take drugs to enhance their performance.

Regardless of what the Mitchell report concludes, they couldn't have possibly been on the juice in pinstripes. It's unthinkable.
