I like Canseco a lot. He's one of the major baseball figures of this era and I do believe for his whistleblowing he should make the Hall of Fame in the Innovators wing.

Ain't the beer cold, hon
I wanted to point out that this was one of the few things that have been said on this subject that I can actually get behind to some extent. Not that what McGwire did wasn't a big deal, but what the coaches, management, and executives did in regards to steroids was every bit as bad.The only conclusion I can draw is that those who claim L'affaire McGwire is such a big deal are not nearly as serious about the subject of steroids in baseball as they are in scoring easy points and trafficking in phony moral outrage. Because if the outrage was real, it would be directed at Tony La Russa. And Bud Selig. And the owners, agents, managers, sponsors, reporters and everyone else who either knew about steroids or were willfully blind to the issue back in the day.
The fact that I agreed with HGM on something makes me sad, and I'm gonna go have a stiff drink now.
