Pud Galvin drank monkey testosterone to give himself an edge. Ty Cobb sharpened his cleats to injure other players, and once stabbed a watchman for intervening when Cobb slapped a black elevator operator for being uppity. Tim Raines slid headfirst so as not to disturb the cocaine vials in his back pockets.

Hell, the Tampa Bay Rays currently have a rapist on their roster, and one of the game’s most celebrated players has had issues with drunk driving and domestic violence.

Never understood the moral pedestals the players of the 50s have been put on by the current crop of writers. The game has never been “clean”.

My solution: ignore baseball.

It’s boring as fuck anyway.
