And we're supposed to believe that a 35 year old ballplayer for the first time in major league history, actually got better with age. Those who are offense homers may not care, but they do make ballgames way too long with all the pitching changes needed in the now too common 10-8 ballgames.

Different eras of baseball have rendered previous records irrelevant...it has little to do with PEDs. Players have been using PEDs in baseball since since the 60s/70s and they'll continue to in the future.
I don't know why anybody is worried about the sanctity of records from a bygone era when they played a completely different game, anyway.
