With Alex Rodriguez now baseball’s latest admitted steroid user, the talk of “asterisks” for baseball records is gaining new buzz.
Here’s my idea.
Since the season-killing 1994 players’ strike (not blaming either players or owners more than the other side) led to baseball execs turning a blind eye to steroids, let’s build a new wing entirely for players who primarily played after 1994.
If you played the bulk of your career after that, then, that’s where you go. (If you played the bulk of your career after 2004, we’ll put you in the main wing, under the presupposition that baseball’s steroids testing is actually doing something.)
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
