Every year at the All Star break, long-time
MLB Commissioner Bud Selig is compelled to show his face and comment on the state of the game. This week, the soon-to-retire Selig opined that the game of baseball
"has never been cleaner." By that he means relatively free of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs.
Ol' Bud apparently wishes to ignore the period from 1869 to, say, 1985, during which no one had ever heard of a PED because they didn't exist. They had coffee and greenies (caffeine pills), but no steroids, no human growth hormone, no BALCO, no BioGenesis.
Surely Selig remembers Babe Ruth, whose performance was enhanced only by beer, hot dogs, and prostitutes.
