The news of some of the biggest baseball players on steroids and other performance enhancing drugs is now regularity and the faulty faucet of baseball is a true testimonial.

According to reports in The New York Times, Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz were two of the players on baseball’s list of nearly 100 players who tested positive for banned substances in the year 2003.

From NYTimes.com:

The great Cal Ripken retired before steroid testing. After the disclosure about A-Rod’s failed test, Ripken announced that he wanted to have a talk with Rodriguez. Good for Ripken to step forward. But where was he when a loud and respected voice was needed to push the players union into testing?

Where does baseball go from here?

Hank Aaron has proposed a formula of putting asterisks on certain records to reflect the time in which they were accomplished. With all due respect to Aaron, every era seems to have had its legion of wrongdoers and shortcutters who used whatever science was available to get an edge. Amphetamines, red juice, concoctions and whatever else preceded steroids.

Baseball fans hope that the disclosures from baseball’s secret list do not name their favorite players but the players need to stop admonishing news media and fans before that.
