As far as the steroid problem in baseball, my opinion is ... so what. Nobody seems to care that the Babe was a womenizing alcoholic that used cocaine like just about every other person that partied all night long back then. I played baseball at the highest level and steroids were never a "big deal". Players knew it was available to anyone who wanted them. Many players used them throughout their careers. It isn't new information that steroids are in professional sports, it's just become socially unexceptable. I still love the game of baseball more than any other sport & will still pay to go and watch a game.
