A Minor Correction...

Buried near the back of this otherwise fine article is the following sentence:

"Congratulations to Greg Maddux, who got his 350 victories the old fashioned way. As opposed to Roger Clemens."

Now, by the "old fashioned way" I assume he means without steroids. If so, then he in fact could not be more wrong.

Back when Pud Galvin was pitching, steroids were made of dandelions and no one had sex, ever. Get your facts right.

Also, there's sufficient reason to doubt allegations of Clemens' steroid use as to make unqualified roid references irresponsible. From my understanding of the facts, it's quite plausible that McNamee is lying to avoid prosecution, though I'd say it's not probable. By contrast, the evidence against Bonds is clear enough that we can safely assume he juiced (and, of course, that he hates baseball, loathes children, and killed Chandra Levy).
