Steroids and the Red Sox

Written on February 10th, 2009 by Ryne Crabb398513 Commentshttp://firebrandal.com/2009/02/10/steroids-and-the-red-sox.htmlSteroids+and+the+Red+Sox2009-02-10+11%3A00%3A00Ryne+Crabb

While many Red Sox fans have met the news of Alex Rodriguez’ past transgressions with unparalleled glee, casting enough stones to rebuild the Man in the Mountain, I caution you all to be careful. It is far too easy to assume that one of our very own heroes isn’t on one of those lists.

With the focus of baseball back on the use of performance enhancing drugs by its superstars, I thought it was the right time to dust off a piece I wrote nearly two years ago in January of 2007 as the BALCO scandal was raining down on Barry Bonds.

For some the words “performance enhancing drugs” are as ambiguous as “weapons of mass destruction”, for others they are paramount to death sentences by the jury of a nation of sports fans.
