Right. Canseco, Bonds, and A-Rod still stood out from their peers, who were probably also juicing. They responded very well to the drugs, but they were also exceptional talents. There's no denying their talent. But in the historical context of other clean players, I think an asterisk is fair. I was crazy about Canseco as a kid, I think most people were. But looking back at that era doesn't give me fond memories, knowing what we know now.
