And it is quite possible that they will mess around with his tainted HR record also
They're not going to mess with his home run record. . . especially considering he doesn't hold the record anymore. They would have to basically wipe an entire era of baseball from the record books.

That Larussa interview this morning was appaling. What a liar! Why did they even bother to have that clown on at all when they knew he has his own agenda and would defend Mcgwire to the end of the earth.

The only one telling the truth throughout all this is Jose Canseco.

I think he was being crucified for breaking the unwritten, "what happens in the clubhouse stays in the clubhouse" rule. He was ratting out his fellow players and that did not go over well at all.

I didn't doubt that he exaggerated a bit on some things, but the fact that nobody that he named in the book legally came after him, should tell you all you need to know.

I don't think he was exaggerating. I was told by someone who played in the 90's that steroids were anything but a secret. The players Association basically met with each team in spring training to discuss the do's and don'ts (not literally, but figuratively). After that, it was a matter of each individual deciding to use or not.

Bottom line here is anyone involved in baseball at that time that claims they knew nothing about the topic is LYING!
