Hi Ted,
Sad commentary, but true. While there are players, (ie Yasiel Puig) who are power hitters, and who could probably legitimately hit a 600 foot homerun, we have arrived at the day and age when there will always be those who look at these achievements with a raised eyebrow. Just last season Jack Clark accused Albert Pujols of using PED's. Indeed the days of Ruth, Mantle and Luzinski not being questioned about their abilities/achievements are long behind us. As advanced and technological savvy as we are in 2014, it is a sad truth that even something as enjoyable as watching professional sports has been tarnished. I guess this is what we deserve as a society who is flip about PED use and votes to legalize pot. I suppose that's why there are those of us who enjoy collecting vintage cards. I think to some degree we are trying to connect to a more innocent time when the difference between right and wrong wasn't so hazy. ErikV Last edited by ErikV; 01-13-2014 at 02:32 PM.
