I think Big Papi is winning me over - even if I don't want him to

Guys I'm sure half of the players in every sport have cheated or have tried. whether it's steroids or putting a foreign substance on the ball or hollowing out a bat or deflating footballs....I mean they just found a Mickey Mantle bat that was corked and God knows how many hits or home runs he had with that bat, so does that make him a cheater and we should discredit all of the stats and remove him from the Hall of Fame??

I'm not for cheaters either but clearly there's hardly a way to stop everybody from ever cheating. we'll never know about the guys that never got caught..

it's all about money and entertainment.

Yeah but in this day and age if you cheat, you have every opportunity to own up to it, and plenty of players have. But this one player, David Ortiz, chooses to lie, deny, or ignore the issue every time he's presented with it.

If you cheated, then admit you cheated. You're guilty either way.
