Fergie Jenkins Forgets His Own Past
Baseball Hall of Famer and Canadian Fergie Jenkins says steroid users are giving baseball a bad name. He say players are not only tarnishing their image, but the beautiful game of baseball. Okay he’s right, but is he the one to say this? I recall that he admitted using illegal street drugs when he played. In fact he was busted at the U.S/Canada border while trying to smuggle drugs!!! How dare he talk about guys shooting steroids when there’s plenty of people who will tell you that he used street drugs while he played. A couple of lines of coke between innings will make you throw the ball a heck of a lot harder my friends, so what’s the difference between steroids and street drugs when it comes to enhancing your game? Everyone is human, including Fergie Jenkins and lots of other players of his era; but come on isn’t this a case of the pot calling the kettle black?
As they say: He who is without sin, may throw the first pitch.
