Mike Greenwell wants his MVP

"Where's my MVP?" Greenwell told the Fort Myers News-Press. "[Canseco's] an admitted steroid user. I was clean. If they're going to start putting asterisks by things, let's put one by the MVP."

"I do have a problem with losing the MVP to an admitted steroids user,"


Most importantly though Gorden Edes, a member of the Baseball Writers Association of America and a reporter for the Boston Globe, told the newspaper he does not foresee the organization stripping admitted steroid users of their awards.

"That's inconceivable to me," Edes told the News-Press. "Like it or not, steroids were not a banned substance at that time in Major League Baseball. That would be like rewriting the rulebook after something happened. But I do think it could impact judgment when it comes down to Hall of Fame voting."

Thats right, it wasn't banned. Thus the stats stand. you can't retroactivate something like this. Sorry Gator.
