I know he has to have the natural talent and determination and practice but to me if he used sterriods that was his edge it doesn't make him a great hitter, but it gives him that extra power that extra bit. Even say turning a long fly into a short homer, and wether it did that or not it still tarnishes the accomplishment because that thought is there, that possibilty is with it and a clean unmarked record should only be given to people who did not mark there own career and tarnish the image of baseball, that there record will represent, by illegaly and beyond that not allowed by MLB increasing his abilities beyond that of his natural talent no matter how much talent or practice he has and effort he has putt in, in then end he cheated. He cheated the fans his competitors the legends. If this is not allways recognized along with the record what is the message we are sending about performance enhancing drugs? Don't get caught until after the record, do we really want to watch "super" athletes destroy there health to dominate the competition. To me it's like taking the best player on Madden and jacking his stats up, if your friend beat you like this wouldn't you say he cheated? IMO I don't think we should completely remove his record or not acknowledge it because it still does require great talent and determination but I believe it should not be outright rewarded because it does still in a way endorse his behavior and I enjoy seeing the best of the best play without the use of harmful performance enhancers.

I seem to be alone right now in my opinion.
