Create list for the ‘drug-enhanced’

Posted August 15, 2013 4:40 am

Alex Rodriguez, JhonnyPeralta, Nelson Cruz and other misfits have been suspended by MLB for cheating by taking PED. It’s a slap at teammates, their clubs, baseball and the fans. They knew better and did the drugs anyway for the money, records and to satisfy their egos.

This latest batch of dopers should be added to Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGuire and the other steroid users who hit all the home runs and eliminated from all the official record books. Or, at the very least, the records should have an asterisk noting “drug enhanced” by the home run and RBI totals. But, most importantly, there should be a separate “Biogenisis Hall of Shame” highlighting their disgraceful careers that has tainted baseball forever.
