I know how Hitman and Mighty feel about this topic -- that Raffy is lower than scum and should be hanged. I'm upset with Raffy, I really am, but I think punishment has been meted out and the rest of what happens to him is up to how the fans (and Hall of Fame voters) remember him. I DON'T think that other baseball players should talk about his case, either in support or condemnation. I certainly don't think that other baseball players should ever talk about "wiping the records" like Frank Robinson said yesterday or like Curt Schilling says in this article.
Curt, mind your business. Just because you have cult-hero status in one part of the country, doesn't make you baseball's ambassador. You're paid to pitch (not earning your money this year, I might add), not to gab about other people and certainly not to offer opinion on what should be done about a problem that your union did more than its fair share to create. All this talk about wiping records has to stop. All this crap about how Rafael Palmeiro's entire career is a sham also has to stop. We simply can't prove anything unseemly about his career before this season's failed drug test.
As usual, Curt has no idea what he's talking about. But then, you could've asked any of his teammates in Philly and Arizona and they'd have told you the same thing. He's a self-important jerk and nobody likes him.
