Late last week we found out that A-Rod tested positive for steroids back in 2003. He is basically being strung up for what he did, much like Clemens and Bonds, but this story still is no where close to being over. We must ask ourselves who were the other 104 players that also tested positive in 2003? I can't believe I am saying this, but Schilling actually made some good points...
"I'd be all for the 104 positives being named, and the game moving on if that is at all possible," former Boston ace Curt Schilling wrote on his blog Sunday.
"In my opinion, if you don't do that, then the other 600-700 players are going to be guilty by association, forever," he wrote. "It appears that not only was it 104, but three of the greatest of our, or any, generation appear to be on top of this list (Boston Globe)."
100% agree withe Schilling, there is only 2 ways that this is all going to end. Either the MLB lets all the names out, and those people will feel the wrath of the media and fans, or an entire generation of ballplayers will be questionable Hall of Famers with only the names (Bonds, A-Rod, Clemens, McGwire, ect) that were made public paying the price. This whole thing just makes me sad for the players (like Griffey?) who didn't use steroids. Some players fight their entire careers to try to make some of these MLB teams, and a lot of them probably would have if this cheating wasn't covered up. Everyone is at fault, but the questions remains how does it end? How do they move on?
