Baseball claims that it has made some tough decisions over the last six weeks in an effort to restore integrity to the sport. By "tough decisions" Bud Selig and company direct our attention to the suspensions handed out to Alex Rodriguez, Ryan Braun and a number of baseball players who used performance enhancing drugs. Fancy talk, but all this really is is a distraction. Think of it as smoke and mirrors.
Major League Baseball claims it is cleaning up the game and trying to remove the black mark/tarnish on it by suspending cheaters. However, the reall tarnish on the game remains: Buck O'Neill still has not been admitted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. This is an insult and a travesty far more damaging that the abuse of drugs by some players. Until Buck O'Neill is given his rightful place in Cooperstown, baseball will always have a black mark on it and no number of player suspensions will change that.
Wake up, Bud Selig.
