If the Sox World Series are tainted so is everyone else's

So David Ortiz and Manny Ramariz apparently tested posted on the MLB 2003 list. And this affects the 2004 and (more importantly) the 2007 Red Sox World Series how? 104 people on that list, 30 ball clubs. Do the math. Chances are good that at least 1 person from every team is on the list, and there is probably many more then that that were juicing prior to 2003 when the scandals started.

If you’re going to call the 2004 and 2007 series into question, then you need to call into question every single World Series from 2007 on until whenever it can be determined that players weren’t using steroids (the 60s? 70s?).

Wasn’t it in 2005 that the more stringent testing policy went into effect? So that would seem to indicate that any series after 2005 is free of question, which would mean the 2007 Series is untainted.

So what about 2004? Like I said, if you’re going to call into question 2004, then you better call into question every series prior to that as well.

So you Yankee fans, do you really want to start coming down on the Sox, because all yours are tainted as well.

  1. I guess that's one reason I can be happy as a Cubs fan. I have no series that can be reasonably contested...lol
