as long as there's an asterisk by their name at the exhibit indicating that they are steroid cheats.

I also think it's important to note that steroids may not "make you a great pitcher or hitter," PEDs enhance performance and that difference can be significant. Why would they run the risk of flouting the rules and being penalized if there wasn't substantial gains from taking the drugs?
