I was having a discussion about this issue with family, and I say that while it may not have been technically illegal, the players had to know that it was immoral, and thus should be kicked out of the hall of fame, like Pete Rose was. Pete was doing something that was just as immoral as the steroid users were/are. If baseball truly wants to prove to the nation that it's not just a billion-dollar industry that doesn't really give a s*** about the game itself, it will do the right thing and remove any steroid-addled players from the record books. Or, at least put an asterisk next to the names, forever marking them as the cheaters they are.

Lyle Alzado is such a great example.
I'm anti-steroids not just because of pro ballplayers, but also because of personal anecdata. It changes people and turns them into no less than monsters. Just because they put up these amazing numbers that entertain the masses doesn't make it okay. I guess it's just because I've seen it in person that I am so vehemently against it, but these people have families that they go home to, and for a lot of users they become belligerent and downright abusive. Not to mention that it's bloody unfair to make heroes of users who can put up the numbers when guys who are playing clean are great players in their own right.
