Time to move on

There has been a lot of commentary about the hiring of Mark McGwire as the St. Louis Cardinal's hitting coach. So here is my penny and a half. . .

I think it is time for Baseball (and by baseball I mean the fans, the writers, and players/former players) to move on. The Steroid Era is a chapter in the Baseball History Book and no amount of finger pointing, blaming, or accusing will change that.

Players knew what was going on, coaches knew, owners knew and it was acceptable to all of them at the time. . . now it not.

Seems to me McGwire is ready to move on. Sure he is going to have to answer some uncomfortable questions but that is just a part of facing the music and moving on.

And as long as those questions are answered tastefully and the game is not dragged through the mud again I will welcome Mark back to the game. At some point all the players of the Steroid Era will be the coaches and managers.
