Steroids

We should all remember as towers fall and icons tarnish: baseball is not golf. Baseball is not a gentleman's game. In baseball, if you don't get caught, you're not guilty: just like in business (and nearly everything else).
What must it be like to be a baseball player, to get away with this and that, and then suddenly to be found guilty, years later?
And steroid use is just the latest example. Don't you bet that more than one role model told Ty Cobb to come sliding with his spikes up?
And what about racism? Who could have gotten along yesteryear if they weren't a racist?
