...take things that were banned by baseball, but that's because baseball wasn't banning things back then. What did he take, if anything? The suspicion continues to hang above them all, especially Bonds, and the whole affair is a shame, a shame on the game that Bud Selig allowed to happen by willfully looking away as balls flew and gate receipts soared. Please remember: When McGwire was found to be taking Andro in his big, big year, it wasn't illicit.

U.S. Hispanic buying power has more than tripled in the past 15 years, to $686 billion, whereas total U.S. buying power has grown at less than half that rate. The Selig Center projects that Hispanic buying power will grow an additional 45%, to $992 billion, by the end of the decade...
