Brilliant post, and I have been wondering the same for a long time now. How can you so readily celebrate the manager who oversaw the likes of McGwire, Canseco, Giambi and all the rest? He knew exactly what was going on, and is somehow not the least bit accountable? Really?
Very best case scenario is that he "turned a blind eye". Worst case is that he supported it, and even instructed them to partake. I think it's a tremendous double-standard, and can't believe it doesn't garner more attention and conversation.
