MLB's Stance

It hit me last night, just about the time the rain started falling in Chicago, resulting in a delay in the first game of the season: Bud Selig, the commissioner of Major League Baseball, values the integrity of the career home run record, not the integrity of the game itself (although, it's hard to believe Selig ever really cared about the "integrity of the game"). This investigation (witch hunt) to determine what happened with steroids (deface Barry Bonds even more) moves us from "cheating's fine as long as you don't get caught" to "cheating is fine as long as you aren't challenging records." It's sad, but that's the position Selig is taking - although he may be too foolish to realize it.
