In the coming years look for examination of the effect of the steroid on pitching during the McGwire era, look for McWire to speak out (what's the statute of limitation on perjury?) and more importantly look for the continuing development and use of performance enhancers in all of sports. I believe we are in a infantile stage of development of performance enhancers. I think they will continue to develop because there is too much natural demand backed up by serious resources for them in the marketplace. Prohibtion as policy never works, eventually they will be accepted and those tainted by the purported use will be elected. Jose Canseco however shall still remain an asshole.

Instead he will take a place next to Pete Rose. Like Rose, Bonds has an arrogance to match his talent, and like Rose he will deserve what he doesn't get.

If Bonds hadn't done 'roids, he would still go down as one of the greatest players ever. I'd bet he'd still end up with around 600 homers, and probably more SB because all the steroid use has screwed up his knees. A sad story to say the least. It’s really a shame.

Thanks — I loved the book and love the blog …

They’re not the same. I think some explanation might be in the story up on the ESPN site.
