Remarks from the Fray:
When the San Francisco fans talk to the TeeVee news reporters, they say it doesn't matter whether or not Barry Bonds took steroids. He's theirs and they love him. They don't care. They'd care if Barry Bonds played for some other team. I'm sure fans of other teams think it's just horrible that Bonds' record may be tainted, but they'd defend their own sluggers' records regardless of any asterisks.
I don't understand fan motivation. How can they be disturbed by cheating on all other teams except their own? Shouldn't they be more upset if one of their own used steroids or HGH? How is this any different than Pete Rose or Shoeless Joe Jackson?
Oh, wait a minute. Betting on games and shaving points doesn't produce spectacular records. Steroid use results in new home run records and much excitement. If it feels good, do it.
