Hey, Ed, enough is enough about Barry Bonds. If you have something on the man and you can prove it, then take him to task, I’m all for that. But if you don’t have anything on the man, we need to leave this alone. We already have kids that don’t want to go into baseball, especially African-Americans. It ought to be illegal to do this to Bonds. If he did something wrong, get him. If he didn’t, then leave him alone.

Drinking the juice

Which do you think is a worse message? Talking about the steroid problem vis a vis Bonds, and turning some African-American kids off to baseball, or sending the message that taking steroids is OK, and having a new generation of young athlete destroying their bodies with these substances?
