But back to steroids. Shall we put an asterisk by Alex Rodriguez's stats as well? How about Jason Giambi's? Seems like there's juice flowing all over the place.

Well, I was nine years old at the time and had little concept of their history. I watched them because I lived in WPIX land.
As far as Rodriguez and Giambi go? I honestly believe that Giambi is one of those who did inflate his numbers dramatically via steroids. So yes, give him an asterik. That said, Giambi is nowhere near a hall of fame player.
I'm going to preface my opinion on Rodriguez by telling you what I think of him first. I don't like him. I wish he were not on the Yankees. If he were on any other team I'd say the same thing I'm about to say. Rodriquez has an opportunity to play clean for the next 10 plus years. I think he will have a chance to redeem himself based on what he does over that period. And I'd be happier if he played out his career on another team. Having said that, even before he admitted his use I would have guessed he was using just by the way his body had changed.
