This is a silly argument. Home runs never meant more than the year McGwire and Sosa were chasing 61. You can't hit enough home runs to water them down. I agree with the rest of the stuff you say, though. |

Sure you can, when an entire lineup has 20+ homerun guys it most certainly does. |

This is just capitalism. They are making a risk/reward calculation and deciding to take more risk for potentially greater rewards.
This is different than football where ordinary plays between ordinary players can result in brain injuries. |

Since I think all Braves teams are an abomination, agreed

Haven't heard much since this story broke initially. Is the word that suspensions are still being prepared or is this now in a bit of doubt?
Oh, and the laughably power-less Royals didn't have a player on the list. Lowest home run total in the major including a league full of teams where the pitcher's bat. Then again, the Cubs pitching staff has more home runs than all but a couple of Royals... Quote:
I was one of those. Oops. SI
