Texsox Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 We all know the losers in baseball's steroid era, how about a few people that may look like heroes in the retelling. Frank Thomas for not and (possibly) Jose Canseco for coming clean and naming names. Others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He opened his mouth for cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Radomski and McNamee. They got reduced sentences by naming names and realizing that the guys using the stuff in baseball were bigger scum than they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. But the point I'm making is...a decade ago, guys like Roger Clemens, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds, they were heroes to a lot of people. At the same time, guys like Radomski and McNamee, who actually dealt with them, knew that they were such scumbags that they kept documents and even blood stained needles so that they wouldn't be the one caught without a chair when the music stopped. So, who comes out of this looking better...the guys who typically you'd call scumbags, illegal drug dealers...realized who the real nasty people were. If nothing else, they look better by comparison, because they didn't trust the real villains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like they would be pretty big rats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying if Jose Canseco, a guy who first said steroids were good for you but changed his tune when he could make more money, is a hero figure to anyone, I really feel sorry for that person. Didn't Canseco a couple months ago regret naming names? Now that ARod is out there, he's thinking another sequel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
