I am less bothered by the steroid era than some. It's just the way it was at that time. It was different before and it is different after. I completely understand if you wish to be outraged.
Here's one thing to ponder. After DiMaggio's 56 game streak was stopped by two great plays by Kenny Kelter, we rattled off another streak of 35 game or so. Let's say his hit streak would have been extended to 92. I would propose that had that happened we might see hit streaks in the mid-60s on a fairly regular basis.
