Jose Canseco:Hit&Miss

the Miss Part on Jose Canseco is the Snitching part. which is never cool. the Hit part is that Baseball knew what was going down. Baseball was thinking a short term relief for a long term solution. the Long Ball Brought People Back.Summer of 98 with Mcgwire&Sosa was huge for Baseball. if it wasn't for the Long ball after the strike year of 1994 then baseball might really be behind the 8 ball. Issues have always dogged baseball,from it's racist past until Jackie Robinson came into the game in 1947, Gambling,&Other things that have hurt the game. but Steriods has been going on for a long time.I don't want to hear about any Asterisks being placed.nobody can say for sure what was what&whatnot. alot of time has passed&It's time to move on.Jose Canseco was a Really Good Player&had he been determined he could have retired a Great Player.I believe what he has said,but I don't agree with the Snitching out part he has done.Baseball knew what was happening. they Manipulated alot of things by having alot of Double AA type Pitchers who had no business Pitching along with bringing in the Fences,Pitching Mounds Lowered,suspect Strike Zones,suspect Baseballs&a Watered down game.I bet Cash Money that if Canseco Hit His 500nth Home Run&Got into the Hall of Fame We might not be hearing about this.but nevertheless we have to deal with the realitys that have gone down.I think things will cool down over time&it will be business as usual,but I hope for Baseball's sake there is never another strike because they will need more than a Needle to Inject Life back into a Sport that while is still Popular doesn't quite mean what it once did.
