...vote isn't about McGwire not being great-it's about punishing him for lying and cheating and being a generally bad example to our children. If it really is about cheating, I get that. If a guy cheats, he shouldn't be put on his sport?s Mount Olympus. But I suspect it's not the cheating. It's the fact that he did something immoral. He took drugs...
