Regardless it's easy to understand why 100+ guys would fail a test they KNEW was coming because they had ZERO fear that MLB would actually do anything about it. 6 years ago steroids in baseball was equivalent to eating apple pie at a 4th of July bbq.....everyone was doing it and if you were clean you were in fear that some roid freak in AAA would soon be called up to take your roster spot. It was somehow accepted and often times cheered. All the while MLB turned a blind eye because attedance and publicity were up because suddenly 60+ homers was the new norm. Pathetic. Sosa, A Roid, BIG Mac, Clemons, Palmeiro, etc can all rot outside of Cooperstown for all I care....Bud Selig too has blood on his hands.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3692','Hilds_Curse'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3692','Hilds_Curse','Yes, I agree Sosa aka Corky is a fool.
