Scott, Personally, I feel sorry for Selig, whose biggest crime was naiveti. He actually believed players didn't use this stuff. He didn't demand testing, his managers didn't want to know, his business partners were content so long as the cash registers were ringing. I completely disagree with this. I think Selig knew all along something was different, but wasn't about to slow down the gaining popularity (and profitability) of the game when the home run totals increased dramatically. Last year, when the former G.M. of the Padres publicly expressed remorse after Ken Caminiti's death for saying and doing nothing in 1996 when Caminiti was doing steroids, the Commissioner's office (meaning Selig) told him to shut his mouth. Any illusion about Selig's "naiveti" went out the window at that point. jpg
