Barry Bonds is a San Francisco Giant again, and it will only be a matter of time before Major League Baseball has to have an answer for the following question…Do you celebrate the accomplisment of a suspected cheat? Amy Nelson weighs the issue, and sheds some light on what some executives around baseball think about the issue. As for me, I say yes, MLB will celebrate Bonds…and I say that they should.
I’ll be taking a look at the media’s strange fascination with Mark McGwire in the days to come, as well as the fact that Jose Canseco wasn’t the only person to out McGwire as a steroid user. I’ll examine how an investigation well prior to BALCO handled things much differently, and I’ll also be asking you how you’d feel about sports villains if they were somebody you knew.
And on one other note…I’m always on the lookout for more subjects for The Chief Justice’s open email series. If any of you run across columnists or other media personalities that need to be engaged in debate, feel free to pass them along on the comments board or by emailing me at chiefjustice@thehighcourtofsports.com.
