Probably wouldn't be wise to do it a second time and in the largest city in the country / the headquarters for the league.

Mike Catapano was put back out on the field, flown in airplanes and given anesthesia all while having a documented concussion in august that somehow nobody saw until over a month later. ****ed up and so negligent if true

It is somewhat cyclical in baseball though. When it is a hitters era teams are looking to draft and develop a lot of pitchers to counteract hitters. When it is a pitchers era then teams draft hitters to counteract the good pitching. It is a lagging trend due to the minors and the decisions made by the kids in high school before they come up to the majors. |

Other underrated ones that I find interesting...
- Michael Phelps "win" in the 100m butterfly at the 2008 Olympics - Jordan being poisoned deliberately via pizza the night before the Flu Game - The NFL's master cover up of Spygate and said evidence There's plenty more...they're all so interesting.... |

Two different moves. Don't worry, I haven't tried to suck my own dick.

There has been such an enormous decline in offense in such a short period of time (the MLB average OPS was .768 in 2006, it's .701 now) that it's hard not to believe there's not at least some basis to this theory (http://deadspin.com/5937432/was-mlbs...uiced-ball-era). |

Furthermore, baseball was having a HUGE offensive season in '94 before the strike, and there was no impetus to bring fans back because they hadn't yet left. Bonds is an excellent test case. Over dinner with Griffey he admitted to wanting to use after '98, then comes out and has the three greatest offensive seasons of his career, hitting 50% more HRs than he had previous to any season in 2001. If the ball was juiced before, why did someone in the clear decline phase of his career have such a precipitous increase in offense? How do you explain Brady Anderson, Greg Vaughn, and numerous other players who hit 50 out of nowhere?

No, they aren't catching every user, but what they are doing is forcing players to use more short term and less effective PED's than the long anabolic cycles of 10 years ago. Most of the stuff today is more to do with injury issues than performance which is why you see guys like Cruz and Melky still producing about the same after getting caught. PED's is just such a broad term.
