Baseball is Juiced. So What! (Update)

Barry Bonds: A hero in spite of himself 

In a rambling, defiant, penitent and - ultimately - pathetic stream of consciousness, Barry Bonds finally confronted his media hounds to deny ever taking steroid. (At least I think that’s what he was trying to say.) But watching this proud and very accomplished man squirm-out tortured denials on TV was almost as pitiful as watching Bill Clinton - in his Monica Lewinsky deposition - sweat over the sexual meaning of what "is" is.

Ironically, this was an occasion when the usually taciturn Bonds should have had much less to say. Because, as delineated in the previous post on this subject, today’s baseball players (especially black ones) have earned far greater professional legitimacy than hallowed (white) players like Babe Ruth and Ted Williams.

Let’s play ball!
