Anti-PED is a stupid argument

I met Stan Musial at a signing event in San Diego.

It was the back room of a small card shop in Mission Hills.

Sadly, yet luckily for me, less than a dozen people showed up.
Only 6 of us stayed for the full four hours. It was fascinating.

While everyone was there, one asked what he thought about Steroids, etc.

His comment was, "Hell, in my era, greenies and reds were out on the training table like they were jelly beans. I have no problem with it."

He went on to talk about Greg Maddux (though he called him, "that fella from the Cubs" who was up for induction. "He wears prescription for glasses. Doesn't that mean he has a prescription to enhance his performance? Hell, it was a grind to go out and play 154 games, now it's 162. Let 'em in."


I later shared this with Cal Ripkin. It changed his mind about PEDs.
