Was fried chicken the secret of Aaron's success
Nats-Mets game yesterday LoDuca drops the ball, he holds it up like nothing happened & Soriano is called out at the plate. He cheated. WBC mgr Buck Martinez knew Nishioka didn't leave 3B early. He cheated. Where's were the calls for sportsmanship & integrity ? Now baseball is taking a magical mystery tour back in time. Is fried chicken Aaron's secret ? Did Gehrig take some magic potion to stay on the field ? Did this cause his disease ? Did the drinks Mantle & Ruth consumed give them an advantage. Did Gaylord Perry use a spitter ? Oops, already admitted. Now an attempt to prove what was swallowed or injected several years ago. Steroid use was not against the rules of baseball. If he failed a drug test NOW that's something else. No athlete or individual can induce one to use drugs. What about personal responsibility ? If an athlete wishes to risk his life & health for big $$$ he must live with the consequences. This investigation is a waste of time. Unless the unstated purpose is to get Bonds. Otherwise nothing will be proved & nothing will be gained.
