Let's say it was fair game to use whatever you wanted, so there is a level playing field....would that turn you off baseball because of PEDS?
Personally i dont care. They are humans who know the risks associated with them
PEDs have been in baseball for much longer than most think. Mickey Mantle used amphetamines and countless others did as well so the whole argument of "respect rhe hall of fame and the game" means jack sh1t to me.
People have always tried to get advantages in sports. I see no difference in someone using pine tar in the ball, rubbing dirt/spit on it to change the ball and how it comes off the bat/how you see it, corking a bat, stealing signs, pretending to get hit by a pitch like Jeter did etc. If the spirit of the game is so important anyone caught doing any of that should be ineligible for the hall of fame
So do PEDs bother you? And why? Is it because of the spirit of the game? Would it bother you if everyone could take them to level the playing field?
Should we remove past players from the Hall of Fame like Mickey Mantle and others who used amphetamines and other substances?
Let's not pretend former players of different eras had higher moral values because they cheated. if they had the plethora of chemicals we have available today, without a doubt many players would take them. Just so happens their drugs weren't as good as today's drugs.
