That's the result of the black cloud on baseball, .. Until it's rid of steroids, people are naturally going to think that.
I cannot bet my life on it, because I was not involved, that Alex Rodriguez ever used steroids. But in my opinion, I suspect he has, yes.
I would think if someone connected to steroids made the Hall of Fame, that would enhance my chances of making the Hall of Fame.
Nothing has really made me upset aside from the baseless, false accusations of PED use.
That's what Major League Baseball's steroid scandal was all about, the hidden harm in competitive sports that sends the wrong message to the young.
I sort of ride the fence on that whole steroid era issue. I don't have a definite opinion like some of my fellow Hall of Famers. Some of the guys were very, very adamant about a person being associated with steroids: 'They'll never be in the Hall of Fame. If they are, I'll never come back.'
In regards to steroids, I think we're all to blame, all of baseball. I never realized how far-reaching this problem has been.
