I couldn't agree more with your statements on the need for baseball to get clean. But as I look through the people that have gotten caught is it purely coincidence that so many of these guys have signed huge contracts to play for the Yankees? It is clear that this team holds their players to a higher standard (no facial hair) and expects performance. This has led to a whole list of players who have been willing to cheat rather than dealing with the immediate pressure of poor performance in New York. These same players will most likely rue the decisions they have made later rather than sooner. I mean look at Petitte (and Clemens probably won't go to the hall) But it must be something to do with team culture as well. After all you don't see these problems with the Mets (unless you are talking about Gooden's coke habit). It would be interesting to see how many more of the Yanks are on the dirty 100 list. I also like to say no Bosox player other than Clemens has been outed as of yet. Anyways, I hope we eventually get to see the whole dirty 100 list. The reason Schilling is calling for this is he knows he is clean, but will always be under suspicion along with every player of the era until all of the dirty 100 are outed. I have questions about Andruw Jones his stats have certainly dropped off. I hope Selig makes one good decision for the game and releases the list so the entire game can heal from this blight on the game. I would like to think the game has cleaned up somewhat from this era but the truth is that the technology of the enhancing drugs is always ahead of the testing. I guess the game is never going to be perfect whether we talk about the Black Sox, gambling in baseball or roids. I just hope we have begun the process of healing from the latest scandal. YANKEES SUCK!!!!
