Ms. Knapp writes:<br /><br /><b>I voted for Tony Gwynn, Cal Ripken, Goose Gossage, Jim Rice, Dave Parker and -- in symbolic support for his candor about steroids -- the late Ken Caminiti.</b><br /><br />In other words, one third of her slate (Parker and Caminiti) used cocaine. In fact, Caminiti abused illegal drugs so vigorously that he died at age 41 from "acute intoxication due to the combined effects of cocaine and opiates" (according to the New York City Medical Examiners Office). But because he admitted his steroid use, he was McGwire's moral superior.<br /><br />If McGwire releases "Juiced 2: I Did It Too" tomorrow, does he get in?Juniorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12399868922850358920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11923437.post-34408037146315498772007-01-12T17:19:00.000-05:002007-01-12T17:19:00.000-05:00From reader Ben:<br /><br /><b>The craziest thing about that column is that she voted for Ken Caminiti "in symbolic support for his candor about steroids." So she's not punishing McGwire for (allegedly) taking PEDs. She's punishing him merely for saying "I don't want to talk about the past" in front of Congress. If he had said, "I want to talk about the past, and I took a shitload of steroids," does that mean she would have supported him?</b>Juniorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12399868922850358920noreply@blogger.com
