Should baseball erase records of players caught using steroids?
Advertisements [?]
I'm not sure myself. It certainly isn't fair that Bonds can use steroids and break the home run record of a true class act like Hank Aaron. On the other hand, if you start erasing records for one thing, where do you stop? Should Ty Cobb's records be erased because he was a racist pig?

What do y'all think?

AOL has a poll going on this question:

http://articles.news.aol.com/sports/article.adp?id=20060329192209990005

If baseball finds out players did use steroids, what should their penalty be?
Both (suspend and take away records) 59%
Take away records 19%
Nothing 14%
Suspension 8%
Total Votes: 13,078
