Steroids. It's a scarlet letter that bears permanence to a far greater degree than the 1919 Black Sox scandal. The Black Sox threw the World Series, thus challenging the integriity of the game. But what happened next became part of the game's legend. Babe Ruth rose from the shadows and slugged baseball from its abyss, while fueling a decade - the Roaring 20's - where baseball etched itself as America's pastime. But what heroes can rise from this steroids scandal? No umbrella can shade any slugger from suspicion. It's greatest stars will have their feats shrouded by controversy. McGwire, Bonds, Sosa - they were supposed to be the holy trinity of power hitters for this era. They were a triumvirate collectively unequaled in any other era for slugging supremacy. But instead, they could become, three names forever tainted with actual guilt, or at the very least - doubt. Out of this scandal there is no hero. The hero in many ways is responsible for the scandal.
