Scandals in Baseball

Scandals in Baseball: Sex, Drugs and Gambling Scandal is in the eye of the beholder. When considering scandals, what comes to the minds of most Americans are events such the Black Sox scandal of 1919 or Pete Rose's gambling on baseball.

…part of it, where there is no cure. Baseball is the perfect game and we’ll love it even though the men who play it no longer serve as our personal heroes or role models. Osama Bin Laden could be out there and we’d still come to watch if he could hit to the opposite field. Baseball has been able to survive every scandal thrown at it, so it must be one great game.
