I think there needs to be a drastic shift in how this entire situation is being handled. The investigation(s) are a joke, owners are not being forced to address the problem and deal with it head on, and players are not being put in a position where they suffer the consequences of tainting America's pastime.
I have several retired MLB players as clients, and as friends. A few of them are in the 500 HR Club. You should listen to their passion and disgust when they talk about the game they once played and will forever love. Not that all of them are angels or hollier than thou, but I think the game needs to stop perpetuating status quo.

if i can still love horseracing and live with the cheating in this game (tho i wish they could clean it up) i can deal with a era in baseball also. heck by now i should be thinking this sport is a joke, but i'm not going to let some bad apples take it away from me.so we should sit and acknowledge todd pletcher for a eclipse award for best trainer- while he accepts it and is out on suspension at the same time. no -but there is nothing we are going to do about
