Cheating has been a part of baseball since its inception - do you think Gaylord Perry should be removed from the Hall of Fame? How about Ted Williams, who was known for being the greatest sign-stealer in history? It's part of the game, for better or worse - and most would say 'better' . . .
I know we want to draw fine lines here, but honestly without any sort of knowledge that steroids have a positive effect on hitting, that pitchers weren't also using actively, and without rules in place to actually invalidate the record, I feel like you're barking up the wrong tree.
Should we just forget the entire era 1970-2005 because of the use of amphetamines? They fall into EXACTLY the same category as steroids: not illegal by baseball rules, not allowed under federal drug laws, intended to better the ability to perform on an every-day basis . . .
