More Stats Flap
Well, it looks like I am not alone in my refutation of the idea to erase the stats of juiced players. Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times (via today's Post Gazette) writes an article on the subject that touches upon many of the same problems that I mentioned earlier.
Still, as the evidence grows, and as Bonds marches relentlessly towards the records of Ruth and Aaron, I expect the clamor for the idea of erasing stats to grow. Not so much from hardcore baseball fans or media, but more from the reactionary pundits who always pop up in times of controversy. There's blood in the water and the frenzy has just gotten started.
