When it first came out I was in shock then in disgust,HOWEVER I think it was a mistake on account of all the other bats were clean. Like I said before it was an accident or mistake but a punishable one.
I have been to probably 60 or 70 Cubs in my life and have seen probably a handful of them with son and wife, and we have seen the Cubs take batting practice. So who posted that he was lying because the Cubs take BP 3 hours before must have never been to Wrigley. We have gotten in way before 90 minutes before gametime.
I have met the guy twice. Once in Chicago and once in St. Louis in the Cubs /Cards series. He was friendly to alot of people and I mean alot of people-he signed autographs on balls, shirts etc. He even bought a couple of beers for a bunch of us guys talking to him in St. Louis. Which I have seen alot ball players in different cities and they act like you don't exist and expect free drinks from the bar.
What he did was wrong I admit it and should be punished, but to say he should be banned from baseball and his homeruns wiped away get REAL. Then I guess McGwire's HR's should be wiped away also for taking ANDRO. Also I guess every pitcher who scuffed balls should have their records wiped away.
My opinion probably a biased one...
