Curt Schilling weighs in on A-Fraud mess
Curt Schilling has been an outspoken critic of players who used steroids and HGH, and he doesn’t hold back on the revelation that A-Rod tested positive for steroids, which contradicts A-Rod’s past statements on the matter.
Schilling wants Major Leaugue Baseball to release all information on all the positive tests.
I’d be all for the 104 positives being named, and the game moving on if that is at all possible. In my opinion, if you don’t do that, then the other 600-700 players are going to be guilty by association, forever.
It’s not about good and bad people, because Mark McGwire and Jason Giambi are two of the kindest human beings ever. Andy Pettite is a fantastic person. That’s seemingly got nothing to do with anything. One hundred and four players made the wrong decision, and it appears that not only was it 104, but three of the greatest of our, or any, generation appear to be on top of this list.
And before anyone asks, I’ll make it clear: My name will not appear on any lists of positive tests. I’ve never tested positive for steroids or HGH, and I’ve never taken steroids or HGH in my life, ever. You don’t need to call the union, or an agent to verify that.
Baseball needs to address this. The story will never end, and we’re seeing more and more players whose Hall-of-Fame careers are tainted by the use of these drugs.
It’s stunning to see practically all of Jose Canseco’s allegtions turn out to be true. I heard him recently on Howard Stern, and he regrets exposing other players. He’s been reduced to boxing Danny Bonaduce, and he realizes that his vendetta against Major League Baseball has not made his life any better, despite being vindicated as the facts about steroid and HGH usage by the game’s stars have been exposed. Regardless of his motivations, Canseco has been much more honest than those he accused. Some of the most respected players in the game have been exposed as liars and cheaters, proving once again that this is a business, and money and fame can distort the ethics of many players, even those blessed with the most talent.

Seriously. This steroid fiasco has been going on for the better part of the new millennium. The fact that many of the game’s stars have been indicted has not really hurt the game financially.
Baseball is less “popular” in the way that Paris Hilton is not “popular” with Christian moms. Attendance, ratings, and everything have been fine (except for the poor scheduling during the World Series). In that sense, baseball is as popular as ever.
I think we’ve seen that the average fan is willing to forgive the players that come clean. I assume everybody that was putting up monster numbers during the 90s partook. I’m disappointed, but I will still watch. What else is on?
I agree with you….I think Sports today are no different than any Hollywood produced Soap Opera yet people get so involved that they feel personaly violated by Players and Owners…wake up
Baseball that is just like the weekday soaps. Rick people, poor people, fighters, lovers, dopers, jail time and a few bullets fired…A few new faces butthe old ones continue to pop up dont they?
Speilberg must cry himself to sleep everynight because he didn’t think of this.
Oh, and add in some mystery….Who told on A-Rod
What a mess ……… can’t we just play the dang game fair and square ? We want baseball – not the soaps and all the interference.
The majors have lost me. Between the salaries, the ticket prices and the BS, I’m gone. The local park satisfies my need – it’s not top flight talent, but they’re not goons either.
The parking is free, I know the beer guy’s name, you sit close enough to actually see the game and the players aren’t jaded yet. Good enough for me.
And then I see a picture of Marissa Miller in a Cub’s jersey, and all I wanna do is sit above that ivy on a beautiful summer day. What is it about this game?
