Being a Mormon, or a devout athlete, doesn't necessarily make one exempt from suspicion or use. Think of the scandal that surrounded that guy from Lancaster, Pa. (Mennonite) who won the race in France a while back.

Must have been one Hell of a Mennonite! :yikes:

Apparently, #756 will have a slightly altered appearance when it arrives in Cooperstown.

Personally, I think the Hall of Fame should reject the record-setting ball. Not because of the may or may not be true allegations of steroid abuse, but because the ball has been defaced. Though supposedly "the fans" have been the ones to determine it's outcome, so do the patrons of the sport have the right to determine what goes into it's museum? I'm getting a headache from thinking about this.

I'm going back to boobs. :p
