The Curse of the Era

The 'steroids era' lasted roughly from 1989 to 2003.  During this time, more players hit more homeruns more frequently.  This is a statistic that can be proven.  Hundreds of players were using either steroids, HGH or some other PED.  Big name players have either come out or gotten caught using.  Players like Alex Rodriguez, Manny Ramirez, Roger Clemens, Mark McGwire, David Ortiz, Rafael Palmero, and others that are suspected like Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa.  Are these players all bad people?  Were they chosen to play in this era and use drugs?  No and No.  I am sick and tired of hearing from other older players who ridicule the steroid users.  As if the players not playing in the era are somehow morally superior.  I heard Matt Holliday who plays now, after the era, talk about how he does not approve of McGwire using.  Of course you don't approve.  If he had played in the era, he could have easily been a user.  I can say the same for Hank Aaron, Jack Clark and whoever else.  Babe Ruth?  This guy was an alcoholic, womanizer.  If there were steroids, would he have used?  How can we give moral superiority to those who were lucky enough to play outside of the era?  It is unfair and I can't stand it anymore.  The point is this:  No one outside of the era can possibly understand what it was like to play in the era.  So judging those within the era is wrong and needs to stop.
