It's simply the media's turn to stomp on Barry after 756 - he's always treated them like isht. In the end, he's such an insular personality that he believes himself when saying he doesn't care about his image and I buy it. There are greater injustices in the world and definitely in baseball. He's simply the best one to do it. We'll find that many more athletes will come down the line as suspects (Clemens is the jewel for me) and we'll get so used to it that one point, in our children's generations, it will be status quo in all of athletics. Look at football; Merriman's Nike commercial has no twinge of shame - AND HE WAS SUSPENDED. I know, baseball is tradition, Ruth/Aaron were gentleman (not buying that of Babe, the media were in baseball's back pocket, just like politics) and football is less noble than baseball. <BR/>Just wait, we've all been complicit and BB is simply the scapegoat. BALCO isn't even the beginning; just look across the bay at those brothers 'a bashing. <BR/>Who would have guessed that Jose Canseco is steroid's Deep Throat? <BR/><BR/>BTW - Barry ain't going away like this, he's waiting for the other shoe to drop so he can lord over it in front of his locker post-game. <BR/>He's going to DH for 3 or so years, going after Josh Gibson and Sadaharu Oh. Which team? Anaheim(if they trade Garrett - he's on a tear, could be attractive to NYY), Detroit(if Leyland comes back and he makes up w/ Sheff) or CWS(Why not?). He'll never go to NY or Boston, that much I know.<BR/>I will miss that crazy man playing for my team...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
