This week another piece of controversy and entertainment has spurred in the baseball world. After Jason Grimsley sounded off to some reporters about his experience with steroids and other illegal performance-enhancing drugs somehow the following star players got thrown into the mix: Roger Clemens, Miguel Tejada, and Andy Pettite. First of all, none of these guys deserve to be directed accused of steroid or antemphaine use without hard evidence. That is just plain ignorant and lack of decency by sources writing such information. I understand them being offended and angry, especially Tejada who detested being linked to steroids through Rafael Palmeiro (It's a shame when your own teammate tries to throw you into their personal issues).
Monday Pete Rose appeared on the "Late Show" with David Letterman and was asked if ever used supplements or illegal drugs to boost his performance. Rose replied, "The other dietary source he used were "greenies", which are no more than diet pills. Today in baseball this would be a banned substance since it fits under the category of supplements. Everyone wants to entice Rose to bet on baseball again. Letterman, in the interview asked who Pete liked in the playoffs, who favors the Padres and Twins. He also mentioned concerning banned drugs if he ever took steroids he would've got 5,000 career damn hits. I don't doubt that at all. Rose with all his knowledge could be a valuable asset to any sport's better this fall. I've wouldn't be surprised if Rose shows up for a few playoff games.
