Just read Gene Wojciechowski's article on ESPN's site basically stating that the common baseball fan's belief that both Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds cheated by using steroids is a mute point and both belong in the All Star Game just because of what both have and will accomplish this year. Personally, this is the most idiotic and maddening stance I've seen a journalist take in a very long time. First of all the All Star Game is based on fan balloting and if the nation of fandom want to silently protest by not electing these two to the All Star game then so be it, in fact more power to 'em. It is a very clouded issue, but it is somewhat depressing to hear people and reporters alike saying things like "well that's all in the past can't do anything about it now." or "we don't know and never will how many people have done what so that's that." I think it great to see the fans of the game get some, albeit small, piece of revenge on two figures of baseball that are shrouded in doubt. Any thoughts?
