John Kalafarski Fred, I disagree with everything you said in your post. Baseball can't allow the players to keep the awards, homers, strikeouts that were gained through the use of PEDs. Those who did should never be allowed in the Hall of Fame. How about the money stolen, from the fans and the players who were forced out of jobs in MLB? No, they probably can't nab everyone, but baseball must deal with those who are guilty. Why? To show the kids that it's not right to be allowed to keep what you steal, and that PEDs kill. The youngsters must understand that these guys are not heroes who deserve to be included in the Hall with all those who went before who excelled without PEDs. Also, a warning must be sent to the players that this will not be tolerated. What I think might happen is a quid pro quo between the player's union and the commisioner: no punishment for those caught in exchange for a strong testing program that will give us a clean game played by humans not under the influence of human growth hormone. Otherwise, congress might step in, in an effort to clean up the game that has meant so much to America. Baseball is not the WWF.
