I know this is 2.5 years old, but this is yet another example of Bud Selig being on drugs:

Ryan Howard would get an asterisk? But McGwire doesn't? Nor Bonds?
It appears to be Bud's attempt to "honor" Howard. But it totally fails. Everyone knows, for the last 40+ years, that an asterisk means a record is tainted or otherwise invalid..

The more troubling thing in that link, to me, is Selig speaking in absolutes, especially in regards to Sammy Sosa.

Trying to get into Selig's mind isn't advisable

Man Selig is a schmuck.
This happened on his watch.
Maybe he shouldn't of been trying so hard to keep Pete out and his Milwaukee franchise in the league.
And that is classic Schmidt.

Ugh, what the heck is Paul Gilles of Gilles Frozen Custard Stand putting in that frozen custard that Bud is said to mainline just about everyday?

how do we know Howard or Maris for that matter were "clean"?
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are .

Because Bud said so. Or Mike Schmidt said so (until otherwise proven false by some good reporting)

Just shows how much of a scumbag Selig is, at one point I slightly defend him as he was trampled for interleague play, playoff expansion - but since the AS fiasco and then his atrocious handling of Steroids over the last 5 years I've decided that he is the lowest form of person who can have that position.
I have less than zero respect for him becasue of matter like this.

Yeah, the Schmidt quote should have given it away, along with these lines from Howard:
"...especially when you’re naturally gigantic and play in a ballpark the size of a phone booth.”
"...Unless, of course, they come up with some magic new steroid that can't be detected in urine samples. They haven't invented that yet, have they?”
...

Yeah. I only read the first paragraph or so.Skimmed, actually...
