IMHO, baseball is like sex in this one respect � it's fun to play, dull to watch. So I don't watch it now that I don't have my Dad to watch it with. If this means that I don't have a dog (or even a bone) in this fight, well and good. But I wonder about the purpose of this investigation and the future of major-league baseball. IOW, what's the next step?
� Are we just to wail and moan about the decline of a wonderful sport?
� or �
� Is there now going to be some effort to arrest the down-ward slide and to promote yonder-ward improvement?
I hope for the latter and suggest across-the-league pregame tests of every player on the bench in time to determine whether he's clean enough to play in that game.
Let the past bury the past.
