Good take, LB. The union is primarily responsible for this and no players, reps or otherwise, ever publicly took a stance that was contrary to the union’s position of no testing because of the right to privacy. Selig himself doesn’t even have the right to suspend a player for fighting without the union appealing and getting the sentence reduced.

Now the union leaders and Selig and the greedy owners who wanted home runs and power hitting for increased attendance and looked the other way on steroid and HGH use have created a train wreck that at best leaves baseball in turmoil and with no credibility.

You definitely need to add certain owners to the list of culprits, beginning with Peter McGowan of the Giants.
