Default OT: So arethe 1991 Minnesota Twins the last "clean" WS champ?

Well that was said in half-jest, but on the other hand, it sure ain't the 2004 Black Sox. Papi can cry all he wants but when he left Minnesota after the 2002 season hitting a career high 20 HRs and then goes to the BosSox and hits 31 the next year, 27 after July 31 and gains 30 pounds? Heck no, he didn't use anything, just good old clam chowder. 1997-2002 he hit 58 homers for the Twins. 2003-2008 he hit 246 homers for the Black Sox.
I hate the steroid era and the lying and cheating that went on, meanwhile Joe and Bucky are still banned.
When you are a fan of one of the few (only?) major league teams that didn't have drug abusers on it, it puts the whole era in perspective.
