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.

Meanwhile the owners get a free pass (or even sympathy points from the really ignorant) even though as a group they profited the most BY FAR. Look at what John Moores paid for the Padres vs. what he sold them for. And that's small market. Franchise values skyrocketed when it looked like the '94 strike would "kill baseball". We should all have such ""good timing" as the Steroid era.
