Pete Rose was on Real Time with Bill Maher and said the following...
"I think who dropped the ball on this situation was Baseball because of the strike in 1994. They wanted to create a way to get the people back into the ballpark, and the way to create that is the long ball. It shouldn't be any secret to anybody when you watched all these great players starting in 95, 96, 97 started growing three or four sizes - some of them their heads even grew."
(Maher interrupts) ...and Barry won the Belmost Stakes one year.
The league's fault?

I agree with what he is saying.... Players ballooned up, balls were shooting out of the park and the league turned a blind eye towards it... Now that the records are falling to a schmuck like Bonds, now they have an image problem. Baseball is a joke, has been for a number of years.
Like i said in another thread they(MLB) are getting what they asked for.

Could be the league's fault/
I dont know what the leagues knew or what the leagues endorsed, but it is curious that the year after 94 the long ball becomes the focus of the game and they are being hit farther and more often than ever before.
If there were any evidence at all for this conspiracy theory, it would have surfaced I think, by now. Too big to keep quiet, way too big.

There is no way the league would not have known what was so prevalent among its players. Steroid issue is ultimately the fault of the individual who used it, but the league must share some of its blame for not having the forsight to intervene as it was going on.

Actually they were talking about this on my sports radio station the other day.
Norm Hitzges was going off on Bud Selig.
