I’m not much of a sports fan, but my brother-in-law made a good point the other day about the Barry Bonds controversy. A lot of Bonds’ detractors are pointing to his alleged steroid use and insisting that the record books should put an asterisk next to his name. Yeah, Bonds may be a cheater, but is that any worse than keeping every African-American player out of the game until the mid-40s? If MLB is going to put footnotes in the history books, they should start there.
