Busch IV makes a good point

Busch IV makes a good point

Why ban someone for betting on their own team if you aren’t going to ban someone for using steroids to break the home run record?

MITCH BLATT

Last week, Busch family member and the son of Cardinals owner (and very properly named for such an aristocrat) Adolphus A. Busch IV criticized Mark McGwire, Bud Selig and the Cardinals organization in an eight-paragraph statement.

I ignored it at the time, but one section sticks out at me for the sheer idiocy of continuing to ban Pete Rose when nearly ever home run leader of the past decade has been a cheater:

“Mark McGwire chose to take performance-enhancing drugs nine of his 18 years in professional baseball,” the statement continued. “He was paid millions while perpetrating a fraud. So how is it MLB Commissioner Bud Selig gives him a pass and welcomes McGwire back to the very game he betrayed?”
