Hypocrite Glavine could of helped institute drug testing within the 1994 CBA.

I think the "tainting" has already begun. Tainting is one thing but disqualifying or rewriting baseball history (which some have advocated in the Palmeiro and McGwire cases) is a dangerous precedent. Understand it. Deal with the situation at hand. And don't let emotions get in the way. It reminds me of the Bonds thing. I am definitely not a Bonds fan. But I did not like how he was treated at away ballparks. Let's face it. Most of the fans who were holding their signs and railing against Bonds a few years ago, didn't give a hoot about steroids a couple years prior. They just know that there was a guy who may have cheated and this is a good reason to hate on him. And nobody loves (to hate) a villain more than America. DonS, will it? yes.

I see his biggest hurdle not that he lied, but he lied during his apology- not very good. A-Rod doesn’t have any rings for championships.
