Babe Clear'd

Balco Bobby Clear'd and Cream'd the Babe's record today to the delight of his Bay acolytes as he hit 715 against the Colorado Rockies. However, many mourn the passing of an era when baseball statistics actually meant something. No longer are they revered and held as sacrosanct: the era of steroids and growth hormones have made a mockery of the game, the statistics, and the records that baseball fans have held dear. With the way baseball owners and management have prostituted the game, they should request an escort fee instead of an entrance one.
