They sacrificed their overall health to make entertainment even more entertaining. They were financially compensated. Maybe that's enough, but with how the MLB is they're lucky that the Leagues didn't put it in the Gatorade and water coolers.Petercorphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08632606521923980624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-88284594467922120742019-01-21T08:49:53.855-06:002019-01-21T08:49:53.855-06:00I have mixed emotions on their enshrinement, but I...<i>I have mixed emotions on their enshrinement, but I'd probably just put some LED lighting in their plaques to show performance was "enhanced."</i><br /><br />Heh.Mr. Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13920907647566015611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-13514999859391505262019-01-21T08:41:41.648-06:002019-01-21T08:41:41.648-06:00"Schilling was a huge talent, but I really th..."Schilling was a huge talent, but I really think his huge mouth is hurting his candidacy."<br /><br />Spot on... There has always been an issue in separating on-field performance with off-field activities. In today's world, it is impossible. I am amused by the calls for Pete Rose to be enshrined and the outrage of the same people over Shilling's politics as a deciding factor.<br /><br />PED as a factor is an interesting call.
