Hope you all enjoyed your holidays. Gave me a chance to catch up on some reading.
Here’s a brief clip of Jose Canseco on Dennis Miller’s Sports Unfiltered discussing — what else — his use of steroids. Word is that Canseco is working on a sequel to Juiced. With the Bonds’ situation, his book will probably become a topic of interest again, similar to Game of Shadows.
You hear a lot of sports pundits talk about removing Bonds’ statistics from the record books. But here’s my question:
What do you do about the Giants’ records? How many of Bonds’ home runs and RBI contributed to the team’s won-loss mark? Many, undoubtedly. Does that mean you have to adjust the pitchers’ statistics, too, since their victories were the result of Bonds’ “cheating?” And if you remove his personal stats, wouldn’t that have a concurrent affect on the team’s offensive numbers? How do you “make it up” to the pitchers who were the losing victims in such games? Just a thought.
This whole thing of making Bonds’ the example is starting to annoy. “If” he did all of which he’s accused, he was not the only one. Should the records of those other players suspected (but not proven) of taken PHDs be similarly vacated? And what about those who were caught and suspended?
